In4mation is comprised of four partners, Ryan Arakaki, Todd Shimabuku , Jun Jo and Keith Kanagasuku . The concept of the name In4mation was from a popular cartoon VOLTRON, in which unique characters assembled to become one indestructible machine. The name In4mation and the “plus” logo mark symbolize a unique bond and signify In4mation’s positive outlook and welcoming attitudes attained by exploring varied paths of life. In4mation’s motto, “I SHALL PROCEED…AND CONTINUE” is a catch phrase taken from an influential hip-hop band that serves as a reminder to follow our chosen paths and to keep on moving forward.
In4mation’s strength in this niche market is built upon a set of varied experiences, from being clothing reps, buyers, freelance designers and pro/am skate and surf team riders. Ryan, Todd, Keith and Jun have a resume list that embodies Hawaii’s action sports, lifestyle and retail market for the past decade.
In4mation is in a unique position to offer Hawaii special things from special places throughout the world, and and vice versa. In4mation will always be going against the grain, leading instead of following, with alternative design concepts and eclectic lines and products.
