  • Shizuya Hayashi (November 28, 1917–March 12, 2008) was a soldier in the 100th Infantry Battalion of the United States Army who was awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Cerasuolo, Italy during World War II. He distinguished himself by taking over a German position despite superior numbers. Hayashi was originally awarded the Distinguished Service Cross which was upgraded to the Medal of Honor upon military review in June 2001. The review was conducted on the belief that racial discrimination prevented Hayashi and several other soldiers of Asian descent from being awarded the United States' highest decoration for valor. Twenty one other soldiers also received the Medal based on the review. Hayashi was one of 12 who were still alive when the Medal was eventually awarded. Since being recognized with the Medal, Hayashi has been a guest speaker at various events including being an honored guest at the United States Army Southern European Task Force. Shizuya "Cesar" Hayashi died on March 12, 2008, in Honolulu, Hawaii, of cancer. He is survived by a son and two daughters.
