Saint Fr. Jacobo Kyushei Gorobioye Tomonaga de Santa MarĂa was born in Kyudetsu, Japan. In his youth, he dedicated himself to the catechism apostolate. After 1614, he came to Manila and sought reception into the Dominican Order. His request was granted. He was ordained a priest in 1626 and returned to Japan in 1632.
