dc.description	Atsushi “Cop” Matsumoto was born in 1927 in Hōnaunau, Hawaiʻi Island. His parents were immigrants from Kumamoto, Japan, who came to work on coffee farms. One of ten siblings, Cop grew up harvesting and drying coffee until he graduated from Konawaena High School in 1945 when he was drafted. Returning to Hawaiʻi after the war, Cop started an unsuccessful laundry business with a friend in Hilo and moved back to Hōnaunau after a year. He started ʻōpelu fishing and eventually learned how to make ʻōpelu boats on his own. He married Misao Tanaka, had two children, and went on to farm coffee and macadamia nuts before switching to carpentry in 1970.
