Aloha Council Chair David and Council Members:
In accordance with the County Charter Section 13-4, I submit Minoru Hanato for re-appointment
to the Veterans Advisory Committee. The Council originally confirmed Mr. Hanato in July of
2017 and he is eligible to succeed himself for an additional five-year term.
As noted previously, Mr. Hanato, a lifelong resident of Hawaii, served in the US Marine Corp
from 1963-1969. He is a Vietnam Veteran and member of the Disabled Veterans Kona Chapter

Mr. Hanato retired as a businessman and was a proprietor of Hanato Tofu Factory for many
years. He also worked as a farmer, welder, and bartender. Mr. Hanato is an active member in
our community, volunteering countless hours to various veterans organizations. If confirmed, he
