Biography[edit]
Hosokawa was born in Independence, Missouri, to Robert and Yoshi Hosokawa, who were released from Minidoka War Relocation Center months prior. He is the nephew of Bill Hosokawa. He attended St. Olaf College, where he wrote several news articles.[1]
Hosokawa was the CEO of Sunbelt Publishing Company, a subsidiary of Sentinel Communications.[2] He was also the vice-chairman and CEO of TMP Worldwide Advertising and Communications, a parent of Monster.com, from 1997[3] until he retired in 1998 due to his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease.[4] He continued to work for TMP as a consultant.[5]
Hosokawa founded the Hosokawa Family Foundation in New York in 1997.[6] He, along with his wife Beverly, established the Hosokawa Journalism Endowment at Whitman College in 2000.[7] In cooperation with Birmingham–Southern College, they founded and supported a music program at St. Aloysius School in Harlem.[8] On June 18, 2008, Hosokawa was named as a trustee of Berkshire Country Day School.[9] He is a director of Community Access to the Arts.[10]
In June 2018, Hosokawa, along with William Himmelrich, filed a lawsuit against Delray Beach, Florida for $6.2 million over building height limits. They planned on building a hotel on one of the lands they owned before the three-story height limit was imposed.[11] In response, Delray Beach voted on a proposal to raise the height limit to four stories in September.[12] However, on October 16, the proposal failed and the height limit remained at three stories.[13]
Personal life[edit]
Hosokawa married Beverly Sims after they first met on a blind date a year prior. They currently live in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, with their adopted daughter, Dorree Ndooki, who is from Tanzania.[14][15]
