Otsuji Farm was founded in 1954. At the young age of 19 Kakuji Otsuji father of Edwin Otsuji came to Hawaii by himself aboard a boat from Kagoshima Japan with hopes of building the American dream. Having no English skills and a burning desire for the good life, Kakuji made his living as a blacksmith. Kakuji met his wife, Fumie and had 5 children, Richard, Masa, and Edwin. It was Fumie that had the vision to start Otsuji Farm. With much persistence Fumie convinced Kakuji to take their life savings and begin farming in Hawaii Kai. Not only did it provide well for the family, it was also the bread and butter for their children. Edwin, the youngest of the three children has now taken over the responsibility of running the farm. Edwin's children Derek, Marcus, and Jonas have worked the land from the time they were old enough to walk. Jonas Otsuji, the youngest has plans to take over the farm when his father retires.
