Arriving in the islands as a contract laborer, Isojiro Kitagawa was by the start of World War II a very successful businessman in Hilo. One of the founders of the Suisan Fishing Company, Kitagawa early on recognized the potential for gasoline-powered engines to transform Hawaii's sampan fishing fleets. He became Hilo's largest petroleum distributor, opened a filling station and then an engine parts business to service not just the fishing fleets but the growing number of automobile owners as well. 

In the 1930s, he launched a Chrysler car dealership and also led a group of businessmen in establishing the Nichibei Sake Brewing Company of Hilo. 

During the war, Isojiro Kitagawa's grandson Iwao Kitagawa served with the U.S. Military Intelligence Service. 

Today, I. Kitagawa & Co., maintains automotive businesses throughout Hawaii Island and is led by Isojiro Kitagawa's fourth-generation descendant.
