Ken Hakuta

Hakuta was the organizer of four Fad Fairs, conventions of inventors with fun, wacky ideas, in Detroit, New York City and Philadelphia.

In 1983, NBC aired an animated Christmas special, Deck the Halls with Wacky Walls, to capitalize on the toy fad.

Hakuta is also an art collector[4] and is particularly known for a large group of Shaker items, furniture and other pieces, that he purchased in 1991.

AllHerb.com sought to differentiate itself from other competitors in the space by positioning itself as "the most authentic resource for herbal medicine available today"; for instance, one of its spokespeople was a shaman, tribal healer, and herbalist from the Peruvian rainforest.

His family relocated to Japan in 1951, where they changed their Korean surname to a Japanese name based on the original Chinese character (白).
