Jake Shimabukuro

In my life, there are a lot of people who are my heroes. But out of them, there is one person who stands out. His name is Jake Shimabukuro. He is 31 years old and has accomplished a lot in his early life. He is an ukulele player and a star in both Japan and Hawaii. Jake has influenced me into playing the ukulele. I think that I am not the only one who is influenced by him. He has made 12 albums and you can buy them in stores. They are a close sellout. He was influenced by his mom at the age of four.

Jake Shimabukuro is now making his fame grow. He says that he was a little child when he started playing. At four years of age, his mom gave him his first ukulele lesson. He also says that he wants to influence others to play the ukulele. The last thing that he said was that he loves the playing the instrument and that he loves strumming the most.

Jake Shimabukuro has done a lot for other people. He probably influenced a lot of other people than me. We want to be just like him and be the next him. As I play, I think of him and hope to imitate him. As he has said, his mom was the one who encouraged him to play the ukulele. Her favorite saying that Jake will always remember is "Believe in what you do."

His mission is as follows:
"I want to show children that the ukulele is more than just an instrument. It is capable of so much more than just a traditional Hawaiian instrument." He is also very thankful for his helpful manager, Kazusa Flanagan.

Jake Shimabukuro is a very special person. To all of us he is a hero and he will always stay this way. He is a person who should be treasured forever. His faith and perseverance has passed on to me. He will always be important to me.
