[Page: Click here]Susan Tsuji
Mrs Susan Sumiko Tsuji was a TV broadcast producer, entrepreneur, activist and the host of the show Hello Japan.
She was interned in a camp in British Columbia during World War II, and the experience played a prominent part
in her life.
She was a graduate from Ryerson Polytechnic (now Ryerson University, Toronto). With only a TV production certificate
and some volunteer work at a community cable station, she went to Multilingual Television (now CFMT) with an idea in 1979.
For four years, she produced and hosted Japanese Panorama, Toronto's first Japanese-English TV show. After leaving
CFMT, she started her own company, Tsuji Communications Inc. and launched the show Hello Japan in 1984
through CityTV. She went to large Japanese companies, such as Canon and Sony, to get sponsorship, camera and editing equipment.
The TV program showed news, arts, cultures and technologies from Japan. Mrs Tsuji was said to want
Canadians to accept Japanese people and to learn about them. She became a voice for Japanese culture in Toronto.
Stan Papulkas, the executive director of CGMT, remembered Mrs Tsuji as one of the hardest-working people for
the Japanese community. Mike Maeda, a vice-president at Canon said, "She contributed a great deal to Japanese
Canadian content."
Hello Japan was stopped after Susan Tsuji was diagnosed with cancer in 2000.
After over 20 years of services for Toronto's Japanese community, Susan died at 69 in August 2002 in Toronto.
