Shin Yasuda
Yasuda grew up in the Eharacho area (Nakano City, Tokyo) in 1932. His father was from the Saga Prefecture and a right wing activist, but he soon started the fur and leather business. He moved to Kawasaki shortly after Yasuda was born and was evacuated when he was in the sixth grade from the Takatsu Elementary School. Yasuda then moved to Atsugi (also known as Kakio, Kawasaki City), where his mother's parents' home lived and failed his grades when he was in the first year of the old Atsugi High School. Aspiring to become a soldier, Yasuda applied to the Army Nursery School, but due to his fail grades, he changed his career to the path of music and learned to use the cornet by himself.
