The Hawaii Mikoshi Group is composed of mikoshi enthusiasts and volunteers from Hawaii and across the Pacific Rim.

We take great pride in carrying the mikoshi and enjoy the strong sense of unity and camaraderie that it creates among participants.
The taiko drumming accompanying the procession is performed by Kenny Endo and students from the Taiko Center of the Pacific.
