Hawaiian Children in Japan Konishiki Invites 35 Grade School Students from Hawaii to Japan Look Forward On This Report Based on the theme of fostering Leaders of Tomorrow, Konishiki will be inviting 35 sixth graders from Hawaii from January 25 (Sat.) to 30 (Thur.). The group will visit Tokyo Disneyland, will meet with Japanese grade school children, and will cheer for Konishiki on the final day of the Hatsubasho (first) sumo tournament.

The tour to Japan was planned by Konishiki and 35 kids were chosen from over 230 applicants. Five students were chosen from seven schools based on an essay that they had to write and also to kids that had not ridden airplanes yet in their lives. The essays were screened by Konishiki and by the Principals of the seven schools. The unique screening factor of kids not having ridden airplanes was Konishiki's idea. This shows Konishiki concern for kids so that they can see the wide world and also is a message which is prevalent in his homepage.

The kids will surely enjoy taking pictures of Japan which they will post onto Konishiki's homepage from the PCs installed for this purpose in their hotel rooms. You can look forward on the reports made by these kids from Hawaii.
