Background

Jeffery was granted primary custody of Mochi in 2007 due to Michiyo’s alcohol usage, psychological concerns, violence issues and documented flight risk to Japan. Restraining orders against the mother traveling with Mochi were in place when she obtained a passport fraudulently from the Japanese Consulate in Portland and fled to Japan with Mochi. Consular officials have refused requests to pursue prosecution and/or return the child based on her violation of Japanese or U.S. law.

Since the abduction, all communication has been lost between Mochi and his father. Multiple attempts to contact the grandparent’s have been ignored. Mochi’s whereabouts and condition remains unknown. He is reportedly somewhere in Toyama, Japan.

On March 31, 2014 and September 5, 2017 the Toyama Family Court in Japan ruled his U.S. sole custody has legal effect in Japan. The appeals court upheld the decisions. Mochi is still not being returned to him.
