Kato was a native of Sacramento, California. Ohki was wounded in the right arm and chest by artillery fire south of Leghorn July 13. A brother, Arnold, was killed near Leghorn on July 7, 1944. Another brother, Kenneth, 22, was inducted into the army last September and is now in training at Camp Hood, Texas.
