Aki Sakamoto's 1976 Shovelhead

Aki Sakamoto is the owner and operator of Hog Killers, which is located in Hawaiian Gardens, Ca. Aki has been building one of a kind motorcycles since 2009 and is creating quite a name for himself. "After I graduated from MMI Phoenix, AZ, in 99', I moved back to Japan. I came back to the US in 2002 because I wanted to work for Jesse James. I worked for him for six years as a mechanic. Even though I was a mechanic, Jesse allowed me to work with the sheet metal department and R/ D department. That's where I learned a lot of stuff. I have to say that Jesse opened the door for me, and I wouldn't be where I am today without him. Nothing but big thanks to Jesse," stated Aki.
