A warm breeze blew into Tokyo last week and on its wings were 35 of Konishiki's Kids.

The elementary school children, from the Oahu neighborhood where Konishiki grew up in Hawaii, were invited to Japan by the former sumo wrestler through his foundation, Konishiki's Kids, with the assistance of 10 corporate sponsors.

The Jan. 20-26 trip was a chance of a lifetime and the first opportunity for many of the children to travel outside Hawaii.
