Yoko Ono is born

12.00pm, Saturday 18 February 1933 (79 years ago)

On this day Yoko Ono was born in Tokyo, Japan. Her mother was Isoko Ono, the granddaughter of Zenjiro Yasuda of the Yasuda banking family, and her father was Eisuke Ono, a descendant of an Emperor of Japan.

Eisuke Ono was transferred through work to San Francisco two weeks after Yoko's birth, and the rest of the family joined him in the USA shortly afterwards.
