• Takara And Manami
  In November 2004, two Canadian children, Takara and Manami Maniwa-Wood, were abducted to Japan from their home in Vancouver. They have had no contact with their family in Canada since their abduction. The children's non-custodial mother, Ayako Wood, was able to get the children out of Canada by deceiving their father and the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
