After graduating from Creighton and completing his residency at Kapiolani Medical Center, Dr. Lance Taniguchi ‘94 opened his own pediatric practice in Pearl City and has seen his business steadily increase over the past months with several friends and classmates recently giving birth to beautiful baby girls and boys. Such the opportunist…
Dr. Lance recently married Charis Fujimoto (shown) and currently resides in Manoa.

Daren Kimura ‘93 along with longtime friend Jonathan Yee recently opened the Kapahulu Kafe on Kapahulu Ave in the former home of Hale Noa (well known ‘awa bar which recently closed).
Stop in for some grinds, live music and, of course, a nice bowl of ‘awa…

Earlier this year, a small contingent of Iolani alumni went on a two week “business exploration” tour through China where they examined emerging markets in Hong Kong, attended the Canton Fair in Guangzhou and met up with fellow alumnus Sam Lawn ‘96 in Shanghai.

The people of Aiea and the rest of the westside no longer have to make the long trek to town to have their fill of incredible breads and sweets. Anson Shimabukuro ‘94 (shown with fiance Tasha) opened his doors to the public today in a new set of shops at the Waimalu Shopping Center and looks to be a huge success judging by the massive crowd.
Make sure you stop by. I can guarantee Anson will be there. He’s always there. I think he sleeps there. Seriously!

It’s 2am, you’re hungry, where do you go?… Next stop. Zippy’s. The fattier the better. Same ol’ right? Wrong.
Faced with the same dilemma night after night, party promoter (Architechs Hawaii), Blaise Sato ‘96 (shown right), along with a few friends, decided to take matters into their own hands. Early this past summer, the group opened NeoNabe, a healthy late night alternative to the Chili-Chicken mixed plate and have received rave reviews ever since… And not just from the clubbers. From everyone. Young and old. Even the ones who fall asleep before the night even begins.
Stop in for a try… (Note: You should probably make a reservation cause it gets pretty busy. Even early.)
