For each interview, the student’s name and, whenever possible, the interview subject’s name, relationship, and birth year are included, although this information is often absent, unclear, or estimated.

Chinese and Korean names of interview subjects are listed in East Asian order. All other names, including those of Saint Maur students, are listed in Western order. In many cases, the nationality, ethnicity, or heritage of the student interviewers included countries other than (or in addition to) Japan. These are indicated in the individual student code, which precedes the student name at the top of each interview and is included in this Index. These abbreviations are used:

B	Britain	Br	Brazil	Bn	Brunei	C	China
F	Philippines	G	Germany	I	India	Ir	Ireland
K	Korea	M	Malaysia	N	Netherlands	P	Portugal
Sg	Singapore	Sp	Spain	Sw	Switzerland	T	Turkey
U	United States

There were 70 such students (out of the total of 178, about 40%), and American or Chinese nationality made up more than half of these cases.
