In4mation
"I shall proceed...and continue"
About Us
In4mation is comprised of four partners, Ryan Arakaki, Todd
Shimabuku, Jun Jo and Rhandy Tambio. 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, Rhandy and Jun have a
resume list that embodies Hawaii’s action sports, lifestyle and retail
market for the past decade.
The retail
space opened in April of 2002 in Mililani, Hawaii. Once In4mation
gained ground in capturing the market share of the areas
fashion-conscious youth and young adults, the decision was made to
relocate to a key Honolulu retail spot. July 11, 2003 marked the grand
re-opening of In4mation. The new location is accessible to tourists and
locals alike. Ryan, Todd, Rhandy and Jun are appreciative to all who
walk through the doors, but will never forget their dreams of offering
Hawaii a comfortable boutique space with a good atmosphere. The four
want every customer to understand the concepts and methodology behind
what they’re wearing, and to feel good wearing it.
In4mation
is in a unique position to offer Hawaii special things from special
places throughout the world, and plans on bringing in trendsetting
merchandise that’ll keep people guessing, watching our latest moves.
In4mation will always be going against the grain, leading instead of
following, with alternative design concepts and eclectic lines and
products. The In4mation crew is truly blessed to be able to grow and
shape this store, using fresh perspectives that come into play against
major lackluster retailers that make mundane attempts at pleasing the
masses.
It’s what we love; It’s how we live.
Aloha!
