Kawasawa, Nonaka, Ikezawa, Tamura

Surnames: Kawasawa, Nonaka, Ikezawa, Tamura
Shigemi (Tom) Kawasawa came to the US in apx 1906 from Kochi-ken. His paternal name was Nonaka but chose to change his name to his mother's maiden name of Kawasawa. Rumer has it his father was a drunk and he didn't want to pass on the Nonaka name. He married Sakaye Ikezawa who came to the US in 1917 via Seattle, presumed for an arranged marriage. I recently found her mother's maiden name of Tamura. I have her birth at Kochi-ken and also see an Edagawa, Tosa, Japan. I have birth dates and some more information but not much. Any help would be appreciated.
