KoAloha is one of the 4K companies of Hawaii, making it one of the most renowned manufacturers of ukuleles ever. The founder was Alvin Okami, who switched to instrument making after the bankruptcy of his plastics company. Seat of the enterprise, which is led as a family enterprise, is Honolulu.
In addition to high-priced instruments from Hawaiian koa, the company also produces inexpensive ukuleles in Indonesia (KoAlana) and Thailand (Opio).
The name is made up of the Hawaiian words Koa and aloha and means something like „love of koa wood“.
