Much of CK’s early history is a complete mystery. He was discovered as a toddler living with a pack of coyotes deep in the Arizona desert. Legend has it that he was reported lost, and presumed dead as a baby after a family excursion to the Grand Canyon. Little did the humans know he was miraculously saved and adopted by coyotes who taught him their way of life. When the park rangers discovered him in a burrow two years later, he was walking on all fours, had no knowledge of human speech and ate a steady diet of fruit and wild sheep. Luckily a California family volunteered to adopt and raise him as their own. Happily, CK has adapted well to human life, and shows very few traits from his unique upbringing…other than the occasional barking at the moon and an affinity for lamb chops!
CK discovered Hello! Project early in 2007, and almost instantaneously became a fan of all things Japanese. First satisfied with experiencing J-pop solely through You Tube, in the Summer he began acquiring J-music products via the various j-music web sites. That Winter he decided the next logical step was to experience the music in person. So in January 2008 he made his first trip to Japan to see the Hello! Project Winter Concert AND AKB48 at Shibuya AX, which were experiences that totally changed his life. It inspired five return trips to Japan, twice per year since 2008. Bringing his concert tally to 42, including AKB48 22 times and Morning Musume 12 (counting H!P shows). CK’s next trip over is slated for the Fall of 2010.
CK currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. He spent 10 years as a radio disc jockey and teacher, but currently works as a loan officer for a major financial institution. Nowadays when he isn’t cruising the Nocal highways in his AKB-Mobile, he is watching the latest H!P/AKB48 DVD releases and scheming for his next trip to Japan!
