second son of Senji Watabe and Kon Takano. He graduated from college in
Harbin, China with a major in Russian. His fluency in Chinese, Russian and his
native tongue, Japanese, helped him secure a post in the Japanese Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. On March 20, 1938 Masao married Hisako Watanabe. Masaos life
changed dramatically after World War II when he met two LDS missionaries in
Sendai, Japan. He was so inspired by the Joseph Smith story that he stayed up
all night reading The Book of Mormon. In the gospel he found salvation not
only for himself, but for all of his ancestors, his family and his friends who
died in the War. He was the first person in Sendai to join the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints and served as a branch president there for several
years. Later he was asked to become a full-time translator for the Church, in
English, a language he taught himself after he joined the Church. He served in
various callings in the Church including branch president, district president,
mission genealogy chairman and stake missionary. In 1972, he became the first
patriarch in Asia when he was called to serve as patriarch for the Tokyo
Stake. After he retired from his job as translator for the Church, he and his
wife served several full-time missions including missions to the Hawaii
Temple, the Tokyo Temple and the Taiwan Temple, where he served as the second
counselor in the temple presidency. In 1990 Masao and Hisako moved permanently
to Utah to be close to many of their children and grandchildren. While in
Utah, Masao served as patriarch of the Asian branches at Brigham Young
University where he gave patriarchal blessings to students in Chinese,
Japanese and English. He was so grateful that he was able to give more than
1,700 patriarchal blessings during his tenure as patriarch. He also served as
a ! sealer in the Hawaii Temple, the Tokyo temple and the Taiwan Temple, and
as a temple worker in the Provo temple. He now rejoins his wife, Hisako, who
passed away in 1996. They are survived by their four sons, Masahisa (Faith),
