 Kawakami v. City and County of Honolulu, Board of Water Supply
The Board ruled that Kawakami's injuries were not compensable because Kawakami substantially deviated from the scope of employment when he left work to embark on a personal errand, and, accordingly, was not capable of re-entering the scope of employment when the accident occurred.
Kawakami argues that the present case should be decided based on our holding in Corden because, as in Corden, Kawakami deviated from his employment but re-entered its course and scope when he began the trip back to the baseyard to return the BOWS vehicle.
Based on the foregoing reasons, we affirm the Board's holding that Kawakami's injuries are not compensable because he substantially deviated from the course of his employment by driving the BOWS vehicle halfway around the island to a girlfriend's house on a trip that lasted seven hours.

 AAS Abstracts: Japan Session 57   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Kawakami Sadayakko is conventionally portrayed in both theatrical and women's history as someone who stole the stage by accident: a woman who became an actress under duress, who had neither much training in nor talent for acting, and whose success can be attributed mostly to her relationship with powerful men.
She may also be seen as a central focus of intense debate over the role of women in society, the role of theater in the nation, and the role of Japan in the world.
Against this backdrop it was fortuitous for stage entrepreneur Kawakami Otojirô and his wife Sadayakko to arrive with their troupe of Japanese performers in London in the spring of 1900.

 The Tanuki Ramble: Kawakami Kenji
Some of his contraptions seem genuinely useful, like the double-headed toothbrush that allows you to scrub uppers and lowers at the same time, or the portable subway strap that gives you something to hang on to when all the handholds are taken.
Although it may violate one of the Ten Tenets of Chindogu, Kawakami is willing to allow the show, if successful, to commercialize chindogu contraptions because some of the proceeds will go toward the removal of the estimated 4 to 7 million land mines in Cambodia.
Their workaday common sense, concern, for the well-being of their families, etc., has made a kind of workers' paradise in which a guy like Kawakami can live pretty well by selling books with pictures of 'unuseless' inventions to folks with the disposable income to buy them and be amused by them.
