Civilian
Casualties
Over 33% of Hawaii's population was of Japanese ancestry who lived with their Filipino, Native Hawaiian, Chinese, Korean, and white neighbors.  Much of the skilled labor, commercial fishing, and cannery work were done by Japanese American's.  When the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, many locals were casualties in the raid. 

Most of the casualties were caused by stray US Navy 3" Anti Aircraft (AA) shells or 50 caliber anti aircraft rounds that fell into the local neighborhoods surrounding Pearl Harbor.  Civilians from Waikiki to Pearl City were killed by exploding anti aircraft munitions (friendly fire).  Asian Americans were among the first US citizens and residents who became casualties when America was thrust into WW2.

"I was a good citizen, and it was with great difficulty for me to bear being called a Jap and an enemy. My father, who was an alien, was interned and sent to the mainland, spending time in various camps until WWII ended. When a marker was proposed to designate the spot where (one) camp was, some veterans of WWII protested. Did those veterans know about the ... many Japanese men who volunteered to serve their country also? It has been proven that they fought bravely with valor."
---June Tanaka, A 10-year-old American of Japanese Ancestry
