Sukeji "George" Morikami (November 4, 1886 – February 29, 1976) was a Japanese immigrant to the United States who farmed in Palm Beach County, Florida, for more than 65 years.
He was 19 years old when he immigrated to the United States on May 3, 1906, to join the Yamato Colony, a Japanese farming community in what is now Boca Raton, Florida.
However, Morikami's sponsor died in 1906, and he did not receive any cash or land, and was unable to return to Japan.
[4][3] Although the Yamato Colony ultimately failed, George Morikami stayed on and eventually prospered.
Near the end of the war, Morikami bought land in Delray Beach, Florida, and he would farm it for almost 30 years.
