Chayson’s bio from the About the Chefs page:

Chayson loves being a sushi chef and loves to create new dishes for customers that want to try something new. Just seeing their faces when they are pleased with their meal is a very big pleasure for him. On his days off he likes to go to the beach, relax, spend time with friends, and think of work when he’s not at work. Chayson loves the sunny weather, good attitudes, endless beaches, delicious food, beautiful wildlife, gorgeous people, and most of all HAWAII! His specialty is the delicious Kiyoshi Roll — shrimp tempura, cream cheese, avocado, spicy tuna, and snow crab SEARED with a three-sauce mix.

An 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan early Friday, March 11, approximately 250 miles northeast of Tokyo, sparking a tsunami that caused major destruction in northern Japan.  According to reports, more than 6,400 people have died, more than 10,200 people are still reported missing and more than 390,000 people are living in shelters.

Rescue efforts are complicated by aftershocks, tsunami alerts, radiation risks from damaged nuclear plants, electricity outages, snow, and freezing temperatures.

今回の東日本大震災で犠牲になられた皆様、そしてそのご親族の皆様方に、
心より、お悔やみとお見舞いを申し上げます。

本当に大変だとは思いますが、人々が心から手をつなぎ合い、
復興に向けて力を合わせられますよう、そして世界中からの支援とエールが、愛すべき母国日本に届くことを
心より願っています。

Sushi Shiono today unveils our secret weapon in the 2010 Ironman World Championship — triathlete Kevin Murar! Shiono is his official sponsor. We wish him well in the big race and hope that our SUSHI POWER gives him the edge he needs to excel.

About Kevin

Kevin Murar is an avid athlete in the local Big Island community. In addition to competing in the half ironmans in Hawaii, he has also podiumed in the Lavaman Triathlons.

Before moving to Kona, Kevin lived in Sun Valley, Idaho where he raced pro/expert mountain bikes in the Northwest. He also competed in back country duathlons which consisted of a mountain bike race and a back country run with combined times. In 2006 Kevin achieved the Idaho champion for duathlons.

As a road bike racer Kevin has consistently placed in the top of the fields with podiums in several stage races. He is currently a Category 3 road bike racer. In 2009, he finished 8th in the Oahu Dick Evans 112 mile road race. This road race was the original Ironman bicycle course.

In 2007, Kevin qualified for and competed in the Xterra World Championships in Maui. The Xterra series is a back country triathlon with mountain biking and trail running.

He has also done various running races throughout the years.  In 2007, he was 2nd in his age group for the Kona Half Marathon. In 2009 he was first in his age group in the Hilo Marathon, and in 2008 he was 10th overall at the Volcano Marathon.  Also, in 2007 he won the Dry Creek Backcountry half marathon in Boise, Idaho.

In 2010, Kevin qualified and ran the Boston Marathon.

In addition to competitive sports, Kevin enjoys skiing, fishing, and white water kayaking. He has safety kayaked for guided trips on the Futaleufu River in Chile and the Salmon River (river of no return).  He has also white water kayaked throughout the United States and all over the world including Costa Rica, Australia, and New Zealand.

The goal for this ironman is to keep it simple: Swim consistent, bike consistent, and not peak on the run into the last couple of miles. But my most important goal is to see my wife and two children at the finish line.

Year after year the IRONMAN triathletes flock to Sushi Shiono for the fresh and tasty local fish and other Japanese delicacies. Is it the secret to winning? We think so…
