We’re proud to recognize Spencer Leung and Emerson Yoshida as recipients of the 2026 Chef Eric Koyama Student Scholarship, created specifically for students from Kapiʻolani Community College (KCC), and sponsored by King’s Hawaiian. Chef Eric Koyama was one of King’s Hawaiian’s first chefs in our Innovation team and played a foundational role in new product development, the design of our test kitchens, and our early innovation process. His passion for mentorship and education lives on through this scholarship. Created in partnership with the Culinology® Scholarship Foundation, this scholarship supports students enrolled in Research Chefs Association (RCA) approved Culinology degree programs at Kapiʻolani Community College and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, providing the opportunity to attend the RCA Annual Conference & Culinology® Expo in Westminster, Colorado. Chef Jeremy Choo also joined the students at the conference, providing guidance and industry context while helping steward this scholarship in Chef Eric’s memory. We’re honored to continue Chef Eric's legacy of mentorship, innovation, and education by supporting students as they take the next step in their culinary journeys. #RCA #ResearchChefsAssociation #KapiolaniCommunityCollege #KingsHawaiian

Through our ongoing partnership with Mana Up, King’s Hawaiian is committed to supporting Hawaiʻi‑based founders and the local businesses shaping the future of the islands. We recently took part in the annual Mana Up Alumni Summit last month alongside Hawaiʻi‑based founders for a fireside chat on “What Makes a Brand Acquisition Ready?” The summit brought together alumni from Mana Up’s signature business accelerator program for a few days of continued learning and connection with community partners. Mahalo Mana Up for welcoming us! We’re continually inspired by these founders investing in their teams and communities. #ManaUpAlumniSummit #KingsHawaiian
