Takaya Teton was one year old when he disappeared from a hotel room in Yokohama, Japan, while on a family visit with his Canadian father, Henrik Teton, and his mother, Chieko Teton. The father says he stepped out for a shower and emerged to find both his wife and son gone. The case is being treated as parental abduction; a Canada-wide abduction warrant was issued for Chieko, who was 35 at the time and may be using her maiden name Sone.

Takaya is a dual citizen of Canada and Japan and speaks English and Japanese. Authorities in Japan have reportedly said Takaya and his mother remain in Japan but that Chieko does not wish their location to be known. The father continues to search for his son.

If anyone was in Yokohama around the time of the disappearance or has information about the Tetons’ movements or accommodations, please come forward.
