Roger Yutaka Shimomura (Born 1939) is active/lives in Kansas.  Roger Shimomura is known for Modernist droll genre painting, Asian American subjects.

The following is from art writer Fred McCraw.

Roger Shimomura was born in Seattle in 1939. He is a third-generation Japanese-American. He holds a BA from the University of Washington and an MFA from Syracuse University. Since 1969, he has been a professor of Fine Art at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, where he holds the title of Distinguished Professor.

His art deals extensively with the cultural dichotomy sensed perhaps more strongly by Asian-Americans than by immigrants with non-Asian backgrounds. Addressing that cultural collision and the humor, tragedy and pathos it evokes both in life and in Shimomura's art, Bernice Steinbaum of the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery (NY and Miami, FL) wrote in a recent catalogue that "Roger Shimomura's paintings of people and events satirically mix up and twist the very meaning of American popular culture as a whole and Japanese-American culture in particular." That is a wonderful summation of one aspect of Shimomura's art.
