OUR STORY

KE 'ANO ALOHA started in February 2022. The Founder Kumu Kawena Mann, a native born Hawaiian, a life long hula student and a kumu hula desired to create a special hula event in his home town Fujisawa, Japan that fully embraces the spirit of aloha. Aloha which permeates throughout the entire planning; interaction between planning committee members, participants and judges; and throughout all planned events, which includes: dinner show, workshops, and competition/exhibition.

The results of our 2023

KE 'ANO ALOHA第２ exceeded our expectations. A sincere thank you to all that attended our dinner show at the Shonan Crystal Hotel in Fujisawa and to all the sensei and haumana that participated in our hula competition/exhibition.

In 2024, we will add Kupuna Solo and group categories to our competition.

KE 'ANO AlOHA is dedicated to perpetuate this value ALOHA
