The Don Ho
Statue

The King of Waikiki
The Sculpture
Created by Oʻahu-based sculptor Kim Duffett, the statue depicts Don Ho in his 1970s prime. Posed with a microphone in one hand and an inviting gesture of aloha in the other, it perfectly preserves his stage presence.
A Historic Return
Unveiled on what would have been his 87th birthday, the statue stands just yards from where Ho originally launched his career, marking a symbolic homecoming for the icon behind "Tiny Bubbles."
