History
As a young man working his way through commercial art courses at Los Angeles City College in 1952, Hank Kagawa began working part-time at Fish King. Eventually in 1956, the enterprising Kagawa and his uncle, Harry Kuruma, took over ownership of the market which consisted of a small storefront with all of two old fish cases. The store was a two-man operation back then, and Harry and Hank did everything, struggling for a few lean years until business picked up. In l968 when Harry passed away, Hank took over the helm and made changes and new innovations which proved to serve the business well. Fish King hit its stride beginning in the 70's when fish became more popular for not only being economical, but a healthy choice - high in protein, and low in fat and calories. Since that time, Fish King has expanded into three adjoining stores, adding prepared foods in the Galley Deli, and has grown to include a Distribution Plant in Burbank.
