John Yokoyama is the owner of the world-famous Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle. Yokoyama’s love of fish began when as a child he went fishing with his father on Puget Sound. He learned the retailing business by working at his dad's produce stand in the Pike Place Farmers Market. At age 25, he purchased the fish stand across from his dad’s produce stand. He lives in Seattle.
