Deja Vu Surf Hawaii-Kapaa and Kukui Grove Center and Quiksilver/Roxy-Poipu are entities of M. Miura Store, Inc., which was founded by Mankichi Miura. In 1907, Mankichi moved to Kauai from Japan to strike his fortune by working on the sugar plantation. He quickly found that toiling in the fields would not produce the riches he’d heard about that lured him to the islands. Therefore, Mankichi decided that he would return to doing what he knew best, making Japanese sweets. He did so and sold his confections door-to-door from two tin cans hung from a pole that he carried on his shoulders. In 1909, he opened a candy shop named M. Miura Store in Kapaa. 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.
