Yosh Inouye

Yosh Inouye was born in Japan and came to Canada in 1968. He worked at Yamada Studio, and another photography studio, before establishing his own business in 1971, just three years after arriving from Japan. Yosh Inouye Photography specialized in advertising and helped pave the way to a teaching career. In 1983, Yosh began teaching photography part time at Sheridan College, before moving to George Brown College in 1998 as a full-time faculty member teaching graphic design. Stepping down from full-time employment in 2006, Yosh continued as a part-time instructor for three more years at George Brown College.

After retirement, Yosh is busier than ever by volunteering in the Japanese Canadian community. He continues to visit Japan from time to time, only to find himself as a gaijin there now.
