Kikka Hanazawa (born October 26, 1970) is a Japanese investor and fashion industry executive.

==Early life and education==
Hanazawa is a daughter of Ikue Hanazawa and Kiyoshi Yokoyama of Japan. Her father was a business entrepreneur-turned Tendai Buddhist monk, and her mother Ikue Hanazawa owned an haute couture fashion business. Her aunt was Tomiyo Hanazawa who designed modern kimono for Chiyo Uno and staged the first kimono fashion show in the US in 1957. Both Tomiyo and Ikue started their careers in fashion working for Uno Chiyo, a well known feminist author in Japan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-18415683.html )〕 who founded Sutairu ("Style"), Japan's first fashion magazine in 1936, along with the boutique in Ginza.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/p-1374-9780824814090.aspx )〕 During the Second World War, however, it was suppressed by government censors, who found the articles they wrote on themes like "Proper Underwear - a Must for Western Dresses" not in keeping with the seriousness of the times. But the unsinkable they resurrected it during the Occupation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-uno-chiyo-1336698.html )〕 Following Chiyo Uno's advice to be an independent woman, neither Tomiyo nor Ikue Hanazawa were ever married and became very involved in fashion business with Chiyo Uno for much of their lives.
While Hanazawa grew up surrounded by these unmarried working women, she actually never felt strong association with them at all as she was educated in an ultra conservative girls finishing school Tokyo Jogakkan which was known for grooming women to be a good wife and good mother. She had no interests in fashion as career, and by age 16, she was determined to go to Harvard Business School as she believed that business might be able to make the world a better place. She first quit her private school to go to public high school and has decided to take her mother's last name by her choice. She failed most college exams in Japan except for another conservative small women's liberal art college, which she attended for one year, and decided to quit again in order to leave Japan for good and came to New York in 1989 to attend Columbia University with no financial support. In order to fund her own education, she held various positions at Itochu and J. Crew. In 2000 she finally graduated ''magna cum laude'' in art history / architecture theory. Still matriculating at Columbia, Hanazawa applied to Harvard Business School and was admitted. She graduated from Harvard Business School with an MBA in 2002.
