Kōnane just went online.

What started as a personal journey to reconnect with Hawaiian culture became something anyone can experience.

While studying through Windward Community College’s Hawaiʻiloa Online AA in Hawaiian Studies, Andrew Castro developed Likōnane—a free online platform where people around the world can learn, play and connect through the traditional Hawaiian strategy game.

“I wanted anyone around the world to be able to play because that’s how it used to be.”

“The work that I’m doing is fulfilling my cup.” 🌱

Sometimes finding your path means discovering where you’re meant to serve.

Japan is closer than you think. 🇯🇵

The best trips aren’t just about where you go—they’re about how you experience the place once you get there.

Imagine ordering with confidence at a neighborhood café, chatting with locals, recognizing the history behind a shrine, or connecting with students in Okinawa before you ever board the plane.

That’s what Japanese 101 & 102 at Windward Community College are about.
