Wayne Kosaku Sawyer was two years old when he was last seen in Los Angeles on December 14, 2008. Authorities believe he was abducted by his non-custodial mother, Kyoko Mori, and may have been taken to Yokohama, Japan. Wayne holds dual U.S.-Japan citizenship and speaks Japanese.

At the time of his disappearance Wayne was described as a biracial male of Asian and White descent, 2 feet 6 inches tall and about 30 pounds, with red hair, hazel eyes, a birthmark on his lower back, a slightly large head for his age, and a speech delay. He may use his middle name Kosaku or the alias Issa Mori. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating; the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children lists case number 1178910 and an age-progressed image to 17 has been circulated.

If anyone has information about Wayne’s whereabouts or remembers seeing him or Kyoko Mori after December 14, 2008, please contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
