(headw1) 帰米
(kana1) きべい
(pos1) n
(english1) Name given to Japanese-American children (Nisei) who were sent by their parents to Japan before WW2 to receive their schooling.
(reference) I learned of this word from two Japanese-American Nisei who were in the internment camps and later became Maryknoll Sisters (I am a Maryknoll priest who has long worked in Japan), and a native born Japanese Sister confirmed it was common usage. "He was a kibei, so he spoke Japanese perfectly, better than us." "Kare wa kibei datta no de, nihongo wo kanpeki ni hanashita yo."
(comment) Thank you for your invaluable website, Mr. Breen. As you know, there is nothing like it anywhere; best there is.

(comment) 教養小説 【きょうようしょうせつ】 (n) bildungsroman
I have never been accused of being illiterate in English, actually quite to the contrary, but I occasionaly encounter English translations that I don't know and can't break with Latin or Greek etymologies. With that said, what the hell does "bildungsroman" mean, I mean for those of us on Planet Earth? 教養 means "culture; education; refinement; cultivation", according to Edict, assuming that helps
