Man About Town
Grant Fukuda, an accomplished skateboarder, DJ, and the owner of Golden Hawaii Barbershop in Kaimukī, shares his perfect day in Honolulu.
Growing up in Hawai‘i in the ’70s and ’80s in Pālolo, a valley carved out of the Ko‘olau mountain range that opens up onto the neighborhood of Kaimukī, Grant Fukuda spent his days skateboarding and digging through crates of vinyl records for his local favorites. Since then, Fukuda has channeled his eclectic interests into successful businesses, founding Grant’s Golden Brand Pomade in 2009 and Kaimukī’s Golden Hawaii Barbershop in 2017. Fukuda has watched O‘ahu change dramatically over the decades, and while some of his favorite places are no longer around, they’ve been replaced with new ones. We caught up with Fukuda to find out what he considers a perfect day on his home island.
