Information presented here supersedes earlier canon.

-Senna's parents shipped from Inaba to America via steam ship in February of 1921. It took roughly 3 weeks for the ship to dock in San Fransisco. From there Senna hopped a train to Arkham, yes that Arkham, via New York City. The only event of note during this period was Senna's run in with a strange man in a black suit and hat with a dark complexion in San Fransisco. The man spoke perfect Japanese and gave Senna directions to the local train station. She felt a odd sensation after shaking the man's hand.

-Arriving in Arkham, Senna was scooped up from the train station by her uncle Dojima and her Daughter Nanako, both of whom had moved to the states for the same reason Senna was sent there, they did not agree with the direction the Japanese government was going and move to California for work. The pair later moved to Arkham, where Dojima resumed his normal job as a private detective. Senna was given the top most bed room in the Dojima household, which as it turns out, is merely the attic fitted with a bed. Senna is also sattled with the responsibility of acting as Ryotaro's secretary, taking notes on her uncle's various cases and organizing his files. Within a few weeks of moving to the sleepy Massachusetts' town, Senna begins attending Miskatonic High School, a preparatory high school affiliated with the local university. She meets one June "Yoko" Hanamura, a fellow immigrant from Japan whose family runs the local grocery store "Junes", and Clair "Chie" Carter, a girl whose nickname derives from the odd noises she makes while practicing eastern martial arts.

-Clair mentions a rumor that if you listen to the static between radio stations at midnight, you will hear the name of your true love. Senna trying this, finds her self drawn into the radio partly. The next day, along with Yoko and Clair, who stays behind as a lookout, The pair enter a strange world that resembled a recording studio through a radio at "Junes". They also meets a strange being known as "Teddie" who explains the world around them. After bumbling through space for awhile, they stumble into a replica of "Junes". A shadowy version of June extols that June hate living in such a small town and only clung to fellow employee Saki because she was bored, going further to say the two were never friends at all. June denies the claims and her shadow transforms into a massive hairy toad like creature. The same strange feeling Senna had after meeting the man in black resumes and causes her to perception of the world to change. She can, for a moment, see the angles and edges that intersect all reality. She uses this power to move at a speed so fast she appears to be teleporting. With this skill, Senna manages to strike down the toad creature and free June, who admits her shadow had a point.  She then acquires the same power as Senna, albeit in a different form. The voices within the girl's head indentifiy themselves as "Yog-sothoth" and "Tsuggotha" of the "Great Old Ones' but give no further information. The Pair escape the radio world with Teddies help but not before stumbling upon a bizarre bedroom where faceless pictures of a recently murdered young women plaster the walls.

-After the incident, the pair part ways until June decides if they want to survive in the radio world they'll need weapons. She proceeds to swipe a pair of swords from her dad's collection of antique weapons collection. Flouting these weapons in the Junes courtyard lands the girls in hot water with the local police and a scolding from Dojima, who doesn't want to strain his relationship with the local cops. Meanwhile a second viewing of the "Midnight Station" yields the voice of a girl claiming to be a princess. Clair finds the voice oddly familiar, but it takes another week, and the news of the disappearance in the Arkham Reporter, that the voice belonged to Yukiko Amagi, hotel greeter and heir of the Amagi inn, a local Japanese style hotel. Clair had been a close friend to Yukiko, though she kept the relationship a secret once it escalated to a "deeper" level. Wanting to rescue her best friend, Clair begs to be taken along to the radio world. The three stage a rescue operation into what appears to be a fairy tale castle. Yukiko claims to be looking for a "Prince" and points out Chie for this position. Clair also conquers her own shadow self by admitting she was relying on Yukiko to prop up her own ego and wanted no one else near her "princess" Chie claims her own persona in the form of Yidra, the dream witch.  Driving deeper into the castle, the group is confronted with Yukiko's issues with having to take over her family's traditional inn rather then living as a modern, American girl, free of the past and family obligations. This contradiction gives rise to a masked bird like entity which is thoroughly thrashed by Senna and crew. Yukiko confronts her feelings and gains her persona Hastur, the queen in yellow.
