Born and raised in Pasadena, California, playwright/screenwriter/substitute teacher Paul Kikuchi is a third generation Japanese American. He attended UC Santa Barbara where he barely received a BA in English literature. Paul has written six screenplays which have landed him three different agents, two options and a cup of Winchell's coffee. Paul's first play, IXNAY, had its world premiere at East West Players in 2009. His second play, WRINKLES, will be receiving its world premiere at EWP in Spring 2011. Paul lives with his wife, two daughters and dog in their cluttered house in South Pasadena.
