Hosokawa and his family were released from the internment camp in 1943, so he could work as a copy editor at "The Des Moines Register". However, the experience of internment stayed with Hosokawa. For more than forty years Hosokawa published a column in the "Pacific Citizen" entitled "From The Frying Pan". His column offered his personal observations on the internment of Japanese Americans. His topics included bigotry and what he called "native fascism." His later entries sometimes focused on parenthood and travel, but he usually stayed on the topic of discrimination.
