feature film, "The Lion King."  Elements taken directly from "The 
Lion King" are the property of The Walt Disney Company.  "Touch of 
the Nisei" is distributed free of charge excepting reasonable

Your comments on our work, pro and con, are always welcome.  We have 
been asked about our legal note.  This is our official response: "The 
copyright is maintained solely to prevent patently vulgar or lewd 
misuse of our characters.  Most any work, including parodies would be 
fine as long as it meets certain reasonably broad standards of 
decency.  We reserve the right as copyright holders to define and 
change those standards.  None of these standards is meant to force 
the applicant to be consistent with the literary style or plot of the 
original work."

The character Isha is the property of Brian Tiemann.  Used with 
permission.

This story is a fictional work, but we don't claim that any 
resemblance to any characters living or dead is purely coincidental.  
With love and respect, we acknowledge the debt we owe to those who 
taught us how to laugh and cry.  Without acting as clear models for 
any one character, many great souls, some non-human, have been woven 
deeply into the fabric of our lives only to end up in "Touch of the 
Nisei."
