The Chibi-K Run is a beloved family event in the heart of Little Tokyo, originally held in celebration of Children’s Day (Kodomo no Hi). For over 25 years, children ages 4 to 12 ran through the streets of Little Tokyo, bringing together families, friends, and the broader Japanese American community. The event served not only as a fun and active way for kids to engage with the neighborhood but also as a meaningful introduction to the cultural traditions and values of the Japanese American community.
