James Shigeta, an American of the third generation, was born on June 17, 1929, and passed away in Los Angeles, California, on July 28, 2014, when he was 85 years old. He was the sixth child of Issei and Nisei. He graduated from President Theodore Roosevelt High School in 1947, and soon after, he enrolled at New York University to study acting.

James prepared himself physically and mentally to join the United States Marine Corps rather than pursue a business career. James served for 2.5 years in the Korean War and attained the rank of Staff Sergeant. He was commonly chosen for romantic male lead roles when he first began acting. This kind of role for an actor of Asian heritage was nearly nonexistent when he first entered the industry. James became a pioneer in Asian American media portrayal as a result of all of this.
