There are no reported scandals, corruption allegations, fraud, bribery, indictments, convictions, or formal investigations involving Derek S.K. Kawakami.
In 2017, Kawakami faced public criticism regarding a potential conflict of interest involving his failure to disclose a 14 percent ownership stake in HK Medicinal, a company seeking a medical marijuana license in Hawaii. Kawakami stated that disclosure was not required because the company had not received a permit and was involved in an ongoing court appeal at the time. No formal ethics charges or disciplinary actions resulted from this matter.
