Ironic, as pineapples aren't native to Hawaii.
I highly doubt that Tojo was the first to invent what we now know as the California Roll. He may have come up with it on his own without knowing that it already existed somewhere else, maybe. Or maybe he came up with the asparagus in the roll, as at Tojo's, the "Tojo Roll" is really just a California Roll with an asparagus stalk inside, IIRC.
