MEET LITTLE TOKYO: Roy Kuroyanagi, Owner of Japangeles

Born in Los Angeles with family based in Boyle Heights, Roy Kuroyanagi, the owner and creator of the clothing company Japangeles, remembers visiting Little Tokyo with his grandparents all the time. There used to be a market on Alameda Street where you could get tofu, fish, and fresh produce. Weekly, he and his grandparents would go to the market, grab the local newspaper, and just do errands around town.
