Ichioka founded the Asian American Political Alliance in 1968, during his time at Berkeley, and coined the term "Asian American" for it, to frame a new self-defining political lexicon. (Before the adoption of this term, people of Asian ancestry were generally called Oriental or Asiatic.) In 1969, Ichioka taught the first Asian American Studies course at UCLA and was named associate director of the university's newly formed Asian American Studies Center. Ichioka later served as a senior researcher at the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and Adjunct Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from approximately 1969 to 2002.
His seminal work, Issei: The World of the First Generation Japanese Immigrants, 1885-1924, won the 1989 U.S. History Book Award of the National Association for Asian American Studies. Ichioka recorded subsequent research in the two books: A Buried Past and A Buried Past II.
