Darryl - I live in Sacramento, California and I have been helping many Japanese-Americans obtain their family register records (koseki/joseki) that allow them to find ancestors that go back 2-4 generations before their issei immigrant ancestors. I have taught several family history classes at Christian and Buddhist churches established by Japanese immigrants.
As you indicated, the key is identifying the village that they are from. If the records identify that village, the process for requesting koseki/joseki records is extremely easy. Feel free to either contact me via email (marty_wolf@stanfordalumni.org) or direct message me on Facebook at Martinus Wolf (Marty).
Thanks.

Hello Darry,
Please go to Consulate General of Japan in Honolulu as below;
https://www.honolulu.us.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_ja/findingroots.html
As you read STEP-1, your ancestor must be recorded on Immigration card managed by the office. You mail first and if the office reply you that they have the record, then you call the office to pay fee by your credit card.
Contact info is indicated at the end of page.
When you get it, please come back to this community.
Good Luck
Noboru Takahashi
