Scheming eunuchs negotiate a raise

Kingo Nonaka left Fukuoka, Japan, at 17 and arrived in Mexico in 1906.

After eventually settling in Chihuahua, he learned nursing and found himself swept into the Mexican Revolution. In 1911, he treated the wounded revolutionary leader Francisco I. Madero after the Battle of Casas Grandes.

He later joined Pancho Villa’s famous División del Norte and rose to the rank of captain in its medical corps. According to accounts of his service, he participated in 14 military operations: two with Madero’s forces and 12 with Villa’s.

His story didn’t end with the Revolution. Nonaka eventually settled in Tijuana, became a Mexican citizen and a pioneering documentary photographer, recording the rapidly growing border city through hundreds of photographs.

Decades later, Mexico officially recognized his revolutionary service, including a military decoration in 1967.

The immigrant teenager from Japan had become part of Mexican history.
