A week or so ago someone was seeking a book about a 16 year old boy who
travels to Japan as an exchange student.
Our children's librarian thought this might fit:
Gary Soto. Pacific crossing. 1992.
Fourteen year old Mexican American Lincoln Mendoza spends a summer with a
host family in Japan.

Turning Japanese : Memoirs of a Sansei by David Mura
In 1984, David Mura, a third-generation Japanese-American, was
awarded a writing grant to live in Japan. After years of ignoring his ethnic
heritage, Mura, with his wife (an American), embarked on a trip that
profoundly changed his life. Turning Japanese chronicles his quest for
self-knowledge and racial identity. West Coast reading tour.
