General information

The sister city relationship between Torrance and Kashiwa, Japan, was formally established on February 20, 1973 when then-mayors Ken Miller and Ryotaro Yamazawa signed the affiliation papers.

The Torrance Sister City Association became an independent, nonprofit organization in 1976. It is governed by a 15-member volunteer Board of Directors, supported by volunteer members. TSCA works closely with the City of Torrance, through which it receives an annual grant.
