Daniel is a California native, born in the Central Coast town of San Luis Obispo. Daniel moved to Orange County to attend UC Irvine where he earned a Bachelor's degree in biology. He earned his Master's degree in acupuncture and oriental medicine at South Baylo University in Anaheim, CA. Daniel is the second of four kids of Japanese immigrants, and was raised in a strict Japanese household. It was this strict discipline that resulted in Daniel having a perfect attendance record from kindergarten to 12th grade. Daniel's father, Ken, is an example of the classic story of a family moving to America for a better life. He began on a farm, and eventually started his own gardening and landscaping business in San Luis Obispo County, where he continues to work today at 78 years of age.
