Timeline

1953

Dwight Y. Takamine (born January 29, 1953) is an Okinawan-American Hawaii state senator and state representative (1984–2007).

A Democrat, he represents the first district on the island of Hawaii.

Takamine, the eldest of five children, was born January 29, 1953, and raised in the plantation community of Honokaa to Yoshito and Kimiko Takamine.

1959

Yoshito Takamine served in the Hawaii State House of Representatives from 1959 to 1984.

Takamine attended Honokaa Elementary School and Honokaa High School where he excelled both athletically and scholastically.

In 1971, Takamine graduated High School as class valedictorian.

1978

After graduating, Takamine began practicing law in Honolulu.

1980

Takamine and his father played a key role in the controversial 1980s Kamehameha Schools (formerly Bishop Estate) decision to buy the Hamakua Sugar Company lands and then plant them in eucalyptus.

1983

In 1983, he opened his own law office in Hilo, Hawaii as his father Yoshito Takamine resigned after 26 years in the Hawaii House of Representatives.

1984

The younger Takamine took his father's seat in 1984.

Takamine maintains a house in Laupahoehoe but usually lives in Honolulu with his second wife who is a school official there.

He has continued to practice labor law, focusing on workers' compensation cases.

Local residents are against both proposals.

Since 1984, Takamine served as the State Representative for the Big Island's 1st District until 2007 when he was elected as the State Senator for District 1.

During one campaign he "went to bat" at the century-old local Kalanianaole Elementary and Middle School located on the Hamakua Coast.
