Deja Vu Surf Hawaii in Kapaa, Kukui Grove Center, and The Shops at Kukuiula are entities of M Miura Inc., which was founded by Mankichi Miura. In 1907, Mankichi left Japan for Hawaii as an independent business man, first working for a family friend who made senbei and other Japanese treats. Since Mankichi had made treats in a shop in Japan, he started making treats and selling them in Kapaa and in towns that were within walking distance, from two tin cans hung from a pole that he carried on his shoulders. In 1909, he opened a shop named M. Miura Store in Kapaa where he sold senbei, yokan, kanten, and okoshi. Through the years and with generations of Mankichi’s descendants at the helm, the store evolved from offering confections to a general store to a family clothing store and now to three stores offering surf wear, surf gear, and outdoor lifestyle wear and gear.
