The Japanese in the Monterey Bay Region: A Brief History, is a book by Sandy Lydon, published in 1997 by Capitola Book Company. Important points:

This is, by necessity, a regional history. Looking at the Japanese (or any other immigrant group) only in Santa Cruz County would present an inaccurate picture.
Immigration from Japan began in the 1880s, 30+ years after the first Chinese immigrants.
Japanese immigration to the region was largely in response to the 1882 cutoff of Chinese entering the country. Demand for labor in the jobs filled by Chinese immigrants continued to grow, and Japanese immigrants initially moved into those same roles as the supply of Chinese laborers stopped.
Japanese immigration to the U.S. was halted in 1924, and Japanese immigrants were ineligible for citizenship until 1952.
Population of Japanese-ancestry residents in the Monterey Bay region peaked in 1930 at 4.6% of the total.
