Christian Hosoi
Christian Rosha Hosoi (born October 5, 1967) is an American professional skateboarder. He was also known by the nicknames “Christ” and “Holmes”. Hosoi, along with Tony Hawk, were the most popular skateboarders for the better part of the 1980’s.
Hosoi started skating at six years old with veterans such as Shogo Kubo, Tony Alva, Stacy Peralta, and Jay Adams as models. For a time in the late ’70’s he attended Play Mountain Place alternative school in Culver City, CA. His father, Ivan “Pops” Hosoi became the manager of the Marina Del Ray Skatepark, and Christian quit school and spent his time at the skatepark where he quickly developed his skateboarding talent. In 1979 Hosoi was sponsored by Powell Peralta. He left a year later when Powell Peralta would not turn him pro, and he joined Dogtown Skateboards which went out of business shortly thereafter. He turned pro at the age of 14 with Sims Skateboards.
