Two brothers in their mid-80s have been reunited after spending more than 60 years apart on different continents and speaking different languages.Japanese-American Minoru Ohye traveled to Kyoto to celebrate his 86th birthday with his brother Hiroshi Kamimura, 84. Both brothers were born in Sacramento, California but became separated after their father died in a fishing accident. They were both temporarily sent to Japan to live with family but their lives quickly went in very different directions.In Kyoto, the two brothers hugged upon meeting and exchanged gifts: California chocolate for Japanese sake. If we miss this chance, we may never meet. You never know, said Ohye. Either he may die, or I may die.Despite being 60 years and a world apart, the brothers discovered they share some cultural and physiological traits. For example, they both love golf and suffer from back pain.
