Deep in the heart of the shimmering Pacific Ocean, a cluster of majestic islands rises, known as Hawaii. Even the sun loves Hawaii so much, it spends extra time there, making the beaches sparkle and the pineapple ice-cream melt faster. And you know what's even cooler about Hawaii? It's home to some mighty Hapkido kids, who have a secret weapon: their imaginary friend, Hapki the Hula-Hippo! Hapki is a vibrant, sassy hippo, who loves to hula and is an expert in Hapkido. He is an unusual hippo, who traded the swampy marshlands for sandy beaches. Hapki is somewhat of a local celebrity in Hawaii, known for his knack of combining Hapkido moves with hula dancing. He's a chubby, jovial creature, with a round belly that jiggles like jelly when he laughs, which is often, because Hapki laughs at his own jokes. Hapki is friend, mentor, and coach to the Hawaii's Hapkido kids. His humor and unique teaching style make every session entertaining and exciting. He believes, "The power is not in the punch, but in the pineapple punch," which doesn't make much sense, but Hapki likes it, so no one questions. Watching the Hapkido kids in action, you'd think they were born with black belts. They can chop, kick, and flip on the sandy shores with the grace of a ballet dancer and strength of a sumo wrestler, all thanks to Hapki's teachings. So, whether it's the tropical sunsets, the delicious pineapples, or the extraordinary Hapkido kids with their hula-dancing hippo coach, Hawaii is a place as magical as the most whimsical of children's storybooks.
