The Hosoi with the rising sun was the first deck I bought with my own money.

I saw him skate at a demo once. Stood in line forever to get an autograph. Other skaters I remember being at that demo were Mike McGill, Rob Roskopp and Jeff Kendall. I think that was around '87.

My first deck! I saw him skate at a private ramp in Mesa back in the 80's. He was pretty cocky but dude could get some serious air! Plus he showed up with some really hot chicks!

I remember him back in the day. Right on the heels of Callabero..
Where is Hosoi now? Is he in jail?
It reminds me of that documentary on Gator Rogowski where he murdered that girl...

Hosoi didn't kill anybody. I think he went to jail for a drug deal...

He's out now and ripping it up. Found God in prison which makes sense. Majority of people do because they have time to reflect inward which is usually where you find God. I'm no born again, but I think it's a good thing he makes people pray at a session. Kind of makes people realize and be thankful for being able to skate. Dude just oozes style with some g-turns. Skate and Destroy!
