I happened to be in the gallery when Mr. Deshaies came to purchase a piece of Children's art from the garage sale section of my show. He flew all the way from New York just for that piece. Mr Deshaies is the owner of Deshaies Fine Arts of New York

"Deshaies Fine Arts is America's most respected children's fine art gallery. Our artists have been featured in museums and galleries the world over. We cater to a select group of children's art collectors and offer exclusive personal management services to the child artists we represent."

In this video I call David Ury and go to his house. He is a very hansome man.

I would like to thank everyone on youtube for making this meeting possible.

The music is from a rights free music web site.

I am sorry, for some reason comments are not working and when I press the allow comment button it says error. I hope this can be fixed soon.

＃１４KEN TANAKA IN JAPAN!歌舞伎町のキャバクラの子とホスト＆田中＋演歌 helpmefin... - 78,411 views - 1 year ago
Words and music by Ken Tanaka. The song is an "enka", a kind of traditional Japanese folk song. It's kind of hard to write, so I only have one verse so far. Sorry.
In this video Ken Tanaka returns to Japan and stays in Shinjuku's Kabukichoo neighborhood. You can see interviews with hosts and hostesses and a nice park in Shinjuku.

I won a sweepstakes from my local Japanese market NIJInoKAI and got a free trip to Hawaii.

On my first day there, I happened to meet a youtuber while I was boogie boarding. His name is Duen and he filmed me with an underwater camera. You can see more of his boogie board videos here.

The Story of Ken Tanaka
My name is Ken Tanaka and I am from Shimane Prefecture Japan. I was adopted and I am in The United States to find my real parents. Please send a message if you know Jonathan and Linda Smith.

These youtube videos show my journey in Los Angeles. It may not make sense if you watch the videos out of order, so I have numbered them. I hope you will watch them all:)



-Disclaimer-
Ken Tanaka lives in a reality that is likely very different from your own. In this reality, rather unreal things can and do happen. Please keep in mind that these videos are meant for entertainment purposes.

Ken, I want to help find your parents. How do I get started?

No, problem! Oh, and just as a side note, I read my Jacob the Happy Rabbit anthology to my roommate because she was feeling really depressed, and it made her laugh. :)

Hi Ken San, it's been awhile. Just dropping by to say, "Hi" and to congratulate you on your art show and to your brother , David, for being on so many TV shows and he especially blew my socks off when he was on HEROES.
