Honorary Parade Marshall Mike Shinoda will attend the 65th Annual Nisei Week Japanese Festival's Grand Parade held in Little Tokyo on Sunday, August 14 starting at 4 p.m. Commenting on the event, Shinoda said "nisei week is a cultural event they do down here in little tokyo (L.A.). i am a parade marshall, so i'll be riding around in a car and waving to folks. i'm pretty excited to be doing it, since i've never been in a parade before. it should be fun. if you wanna get down with the JA culture in los angeles, or just want to come out and see what spam musubi and tofuzilla are all about, come on down."

on the link to a brief bio of mike on that site, there is some form of inaccuracy: "Mike Shinoda is a "sansei" (third generation Japanese American)" I know from numerous sources that mike is "yonsei", the fourth generation of japanese in america. could someone clarify this?
