On February 27, 2009, tragedy struck as Asa Yamashita, beloved Waianae High School teacher lost her life due to a senseless, brutal crime that sent shock waves through the state – and changed the life of her family, forever. Four years later at sentencing, Bryan Yamashita, Asa’s husband told the assailant, “We mean no ill will toward you,” at his sentencing for the murder. Both the prosecutor and defense attorney lauded the husband as a “big person” and “big man” for being able to forgive. But, Bryan Yamashita later said his faith requires forgiveness. “If people see me as big, my God is bigger,” he said (Honolulu Advertiser, Ken Kobayashi, June 26 2013).
Bryan Yamashita is a teacher at Campbell High School and is a member of Grace Bible Church Pearlside. He is the father of Tori and Katie.
