- Biographical
- Victoriano Yano was born to Miguel Yano and Vicenta Antoni in the Philippines in 1907. Little information exists about his early life, education, and family other than his marriage to Margarita [Mary] Ricablanca, who was Puerto Rican, on May 22, 1929. They gave birth to three daughters: Madalene (1940), Barbara J. (1945), and Leona (1950). By 1950 the United States census documents the family as residing on 1482 Plantation Road in Makawao, Maui, Hawai'i. Yano worked as a janitor at a general hospital while Mary worked as a trimmer for a pineapple cannery company.
