Biographical / Historical

Isotaro and Misao Hashimoto Yamada were immigrants from Japan who settled in Idaho in the early twentieth century. Together, they had six children: Hidoshi "Mike" Yamada, Jiro Yamada, Miyo Yamada Fuji, Natsuyo Yamada "Natch" Tominaga, Toshiko Yamada "Toshi" Higashi, and Kunio Yamada. The Yamadas lived in what is now the Pocatello metropolitan area, first opening a restaurant in McCammon, Idaho, in the early 1920s. They later moved to Tyhee, where they had a farm where they grew cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and other produce. The family farm, T.M. Yamada, or T.M.Y. Vegetable Gardens, was located between Alameda and Pole Line Road, near what is now Cahoon Avenue, in Pocatello, Idaho.
