Picture
Since his arrival in Hawaii in 1910, for the last 25 years he has lived in Hakalau. During the time he has assisted grand priests Kami-i, Itsushima and Sakai with the service, and dedicated himself in keeping up the spirit of Jodo Mission in the community. Currently he serves as an accountant for the Sunday School at the church. 
For the Hakalau Kuleana, our responsibility is to care for the land, the people, and the culture. We are guided by cultural values of YESTERDAY: Engage in collective effort. Look out for each other. Honor hard work. Show respect for those who came before us. Aloha and Mālama `Aina. In 2021, Akiko Masuda added two more values to the list: Consistently show up. Whatever has to be done, jump in and do it!
