Keiko Takahashi and Ryo Takami came all the way from Yokohama, Japan to be part of the Ka Pa Hula o Hinano recital, and got a special treat on Saturday when the pair got to see Kumu Hula Troy Hinano Lazaro and the Kaua‘i halau perform during the “Grand Reopening (that’s Kumu Troy’s term)” of the ‘Ele‘ele McDonald’s restaurant that was met with “Chee-hoo!” from motorists sitting at the red light on Waialo Road, and horn honks from cars passing by.
