About Donald My parents were Shiro and Fujiko Ikeda. They were born and raised in Hilo, Hawaii. They were business people who ran multiple businesses in Hilo: Ikeda Shoyu, S. Ikeda Factory Ltd. (which manufactured soft drinks - 7-Up and Sunbrite beverages), and Hilo Macaroni Factory Ltd. They were very community minded and active participants in the Waiakea Lions, Waiakea Pirates, and the University Extension. After graduating from college, I worked for a few years in California before returning home to Hilo. Here I have followed in my parent's footsteps by being involved in the community. |
