I grew up under Governor George Ariyoshi. Hawaii's outward appearance is dominated by Japanese cultural artifacts. The McDonalds in Hawaii have saimin on the menu. Sashimi is common at social gatherings. Of the non-English speakers, Japanese is heard more than other Asian languages. Even the classic kimono is often seen in downtown Honolulu.

i find japanese culture phenomenal. the attention to detail is astounding. japanese people are great, the food is great. Berserk (anime/manga) is the best narrative ive ever witnessed
as someone who works in a hospital 80+ hrs a week, one of the few things i look forward to is riding my motorcycle into manhattan in the middle of the night, going to my usual ramen spot, and eating and having a round of sake. for any new yorkers, the joint is called Ramen Sanshiro (it opens at 11PM)
