(ja) George Shima (1864-1926), entrepreneur californien d'origine japonaise, fut le premier millionnaire Nippo-Américain. À une époque, il produisait 85 % de la récolte de pommes de terre de Califormie, ce qui lui valut d'être surnommé « The Potato King » (le roi de la pomme de terre). Le Shima Center au rend hommage à son œuvre. Yoshinobu Hirotsu, originaire comme lui de Kurume, collecta plusieurs centaines de milliers de yens pour ériger une statue grandeur nature de Shima dans un parc de la ville en 1999. (fr)
