Nile C. Kinnick High School is a U.S. military-operated school that originally opened in Yokohama, Japan in 1946 during the occupation after World War II.[2] The school later moved to US Fleet Activities Yokosuka, Japan in 1971, but kept the Yo-Hi Red Devils mascot to honor the schools beginnings. The school was named after Nile Clarke Kinnick, Jr. in 1990.[1][3] Kinnick High School usually has around 600 students and is about 45 km from Tokyo.
