Martin Yanagihara, Fine Arts Programmer
Martin Yanagihara is a junior intending to major in IAS in Society, Ethics and Human Behavior. On campus Martin was involved with Orientation for two years before working with CEB, and also is the cofounder of the Pacific Islander Club. Martin was born in Japan and adopted when he was 3 months old. Growing up he was diagnosed with a Choledocal Cyst which is tumor of the Common Bile Duct. When he was 5 years old Children’s Hospital removed the tumor, saving his life, and the video of his operation is still shown to University of Washington medical students. Thanks to his operation, a door opened for him and allowed him to play sports. He grew up watching and playing basketball, baseball, football and tennis and they still play a huge part in his life today. Another huge part of his life is music, for it allows his mind to escape and be free. Martin listens to all kinds of music; Rap, Hip Hop, R&B, Hawaiian, Alternative and Doo Wop. His family and friends mean the world to him and he doesn’t know what path of life he would be on if it weren’t for them. For his future all he wants is to be successful and happy with his future wife and kids, with a vacation house back home in Hawaii. Don’t be shy and feel free to stop Martin and strike up a conversation whenever you see him!
