KABC anchor David Ono.

David Ono, co-anchor for KABC Los Angeles Eyewitness News at 4 and 6 p.m., stepped past his anchor desk this year, touring his own multimedia production about the Japanese-American Nisei soldiers during World War II. Defining Courage: Celebrate the Legacy of True American Heroes, which has sold out more than a dozen shows, features live music (with lyrics by Ono), historic film footage and eyewitness interviews.
