finding lost friends(japanese/non-japanese) in japan

[vivkr]

Hi,

I know that a similar thread was posted on this forum quite a while ago, yet I would like to add one of my own as there are certain differences here.

Me and my wife have lost touch with a friend of hers presumably as both of us moved around the same time and do not have each other's contact addresses anymore. We live in Switzerland by the way.

There is a Japanese woman called Ema Hara and her American boyfriend (maybe now husband) called Ron (don't remember the last name unfortunately). The couple used to live in Fujisawa (Kanagawa prefecture). Our last letter sent a couple of years ago was returned by the post office as the couple seemed to have moved house.

How could one go about searching for people? We met them the last time on our trip to Japan in 2005. I am assuming that it ought to be possible to find people if we know their last postal address and some more information such as the fact that the boyfriend works in a software startup of his own setup with a few foreign friends and has lived in Japan for many years (long enough to speak Japanese fluently). We have pictures of theirs in case that helps in some way.

I would be glad to have any tips.

Thanks
Vivek

The last name would be a huge help.
Also, was the person ever in the military or has friends in the military?
