You've said a mouthful! It is maybe somewhat remotely possible that the Ann S Obama shown in the Polk for Honolulu for 1961 was a Japanese student and a co-tenant, perhaps a student at the East-West Centre...I'm posting the above graphic to confirm that Obama IS also a Japanese name, as you wrote.
The marriage index supplied by the HDOH is about as useful as the birth index. Just lists of names, no dates, nothing. If you go to Google Images for 'birth index' for example, you'll see what the real thing looks like.

Not only that, it’s merely a printout allegedly from a database. A database which could be about as secure as the ones recently hacked for credit card information, or as secure as the passport files were, or as secure as the records that Snowden got his hands on. It is SO EASY to add a record to a database or EVEN a report BEFORE IT’S PRINTED. You don’t even have to change the underlying database. You print the report to a file, you edit it (adding or deleting or changing what you want) and then you print it out and substitute it wherever you please. If you modify it AFTER it’s been generated, then there’s no audit trail showing that you did ANYTHING to the underlying database. Computer people will know what I’m saying.
