Midori Tachibana leads a special “Graffiti Team” forLittle Tokyo Sparkle.

when Ive forgotten to tell my wife that Im going fishing and she lets me know that shes not biting or buying my loss-of-memory tale.for providing us two days of awe where time stood still on the water.

so 20 BFT for the night with 80 percent of them from 110-224 pounds.Toki-san wouldve caught that 224-pound beast with anything.and incidents portrayed in this Danny T Friends charter are not fictitious.

and the bite was finally turning back on.we had 14 more to add to our count.

We instantly became friends and in short order my dads ohana-aloha genes kicked in.

I havent seen Toki-sans birth certificate or his CDL.The celebration will showcase the enduring legacy of Otomisan.

Taiko drummers perform at the first Nikkei Celebration in Boyle Heights.the only continuously operating authentic Japanese restaurant in the same location since 1956.

followed by performances by Hikari Taiko and Boyle Heights Neighborhood Music School and an appearance by the 2023 Nisei Week Court.and selected seating on the first rows for elders and people with disabilities under the canopies.
