Annabelle Chung was the Madam of the Japanese comfort house in Wahiawa, Oahu, in the puppet Kingdom of Hawaii. She ruled the house with a strict hand, scaring those who worked for her in particular. While most of her charges were Chinese, Jane Armitage was among those under her "care". When the United States Marines arrived in Wahiawa in 1943, the brothel was hit by artillery fire, allowing the comfort women to escape. Chung attempted to stop this escape but was beaten by the inmates for her efforts.
