Yes they were. Shameful though it may be, all Japanese US residents and Japanese-American citizens, young and old, male and female, all of them everywhere, were put into camps. Unlike the Germans and Italians in the US, the Japanese were interned collectively. Most of them were probably living in California when the US declared war on Japan, but internment applied to all people of Japanese descent in the US (and US territory such as the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines).
If i undertand the question ,the asker wanted to know if "all" people of Japanese heritage were put in camps during the war, and the answer is no. Of the 150,000 Japnese Living in Hawaii, 1200-1500 were interred during the war.There were not many of Japanese heritage living in the east but most of the few that did were not interred either. 62% of those interred were American citizens. In 1942 Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which " allowed authorized military commanders to designate "military areas" at their discretion, "from which any or all persons may be excluded." These "exclusion zones," unlike the "alien enemy" roundups, were applicable to anyone that an authorized military commander might choose, whether citizen or non-citizen. Eventually such zones would include parts of both the East and West Coasts, totaling about 1/3 of the country by area. Unlike the subsequent detainment and internment programs that would come to be applied to large numbers of Japanese Americans, detentions and restrictions directly under this Individual Exclusion Program were placed primarily on individuals of German or Italian ancestry, including American citizens."
