Oguri Jukichi
Oguri Jukichi
Oguri Jukichi was one of the first Japanese citizens known to have reached present day California. He and his fourteen-man crew, bound for Edo, were sailing off the Japanese coast in 1813 when their ship, the Tokujomaru, was disabled in a storm. The ship drifted across the Pacific Ocean, reaching the vicinity of Santa Barbara on the coast of Alta California, then part of New Spain, in late March 1815.
