    Hey I love this song "Kenji" that Mike made on Fort Minor and at the end he says that it was his family that was locked up in the Japanese internment camp. I didnt know that Mike had any Japanese in him or is this about Joe Han's family. I'm just looking for who this song is about.

    Mike is half-Japanese and Joe is Korean. It's about Mike's grandparents.

    Grandparents?

    I thought it was based on the experience of his father and his aunt.

    His dad would have to of been pretty damn old to be the Kenji in the story.

    It's about his grandparents, but his father was interviewed, as was his aunt.

    Well yeah, I know his dad was young, but I didn't know it was his grandparents.

    But I understand now.
