Wow, I hesitate to say I know most of those guys. LOL Tom Fukamoto is a fat little scum bag, never liked the guy and he was not to be trusted. Hiro well he is just Hiro, its hard to explain.Sean Morris, knew him from Motorex. Met him after my friend Ken (yes another ken) went to work for them. I remember Hiro being all hung up on having the latest and greatest shit. New cell phone would come out he would be all over ebay trying to buy one.
I remember running into Hiro in like 2006 in the post office in Gardena. It was like oh wow there's Hiro and he is smiling and waving and saying hi all nonchalantly. This was after the extortion indictment and his stay in jail.
Ken Takaheshi was a very cool person and pretty straight up. I used to buy stuff from Motorex, this was all before it unraveled. When the place actually looked like a normal place of business. Back when they were the Cwest reps for the U.S.
