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, last Summer he began acquiring J-music products via the various j-music web sites. Last Winter he decided the next logical step was to experience the music in person. So in January 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 a return to Japan in October, and another SEVEN H!P and AKB48 shows!
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, CK spends his time with his trusty cat Dexter watching the latest H!P/AKB48 DVD releases and scheming for his next trip to Japan!
