Hawaii’s Icon Larry Kimura Yachting 9 hrs ago Kristin Baird Rattini © Provided by Yachting Larry Kimura has dedicated his life to preserving and promoting the Hawaiian language. Larry kimura is known as the “grandfather of the Hawaiian language,” an honorific that, at 74, he supposes he’s the right age for. But he has no intention of retiring from promoting and advancing the study and appreciation of the Hawaiian language. “There’s still so much to do,” says Kimura, an associate professor of Hawaiian language and studies at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. In 1972 when it was still technically illegal to speak Hawaiian in public schools Kimura launched Ka Leo Hawaii, a Hawaiian-language radio show in Honolulu. Over 16 years, he recorded more than 550 hours of interviews with every native speaker he could find. He’s now digitizing the files for future generations to hear.
