Born in Japan, raised in England, Hok is a standout finalist from Season 3 of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance and Season 3 winner on MTV’s Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew as part of Quest Crew. Dance Track Magazine stumbled across a mini movie he made and we had to catch up with him to find out more and bring you the footage. Hok is currently touring and performing shows with Quest crew in addition to creating his own art alongside filmmakers and fellow performers Di “Moon” Zhang and Phillip “PacMan” Chbeeb. This isn’t the first collabo this talented threesome has created.

"So You Think You Can Dance" executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe made a stunning announcement on Monday (March 29), outlining the major changes coming to the dance series this season: Not only will there be just 10 finalists chosen in Vegas, but those finalists will be partnered with a new "Sytycd" alum each week of the competition.
Lythgoe promised to reveal which of the show's "all-stars" have signed on to return via Twitter and he wasn't lying.

While everyone else was interested in the off-stage drama of the un-fianced Maksim and Karina from Dancing with The Stars, the only thing about the Emmy dance routine we cared about was the plethora of So You Think You Can Dance alumni. Backing the Dancing with the Stars (ex)couple were Season 4 alumni Mark Kanemura, Katee Shean, Joshua Allen, Season 3 (and Abdc's) Hok Konishi and Dominic Sandoval, as well as Season 1 and fellow Quest Crew member Ryan Conferido. The routine was even choreographed by So You Think You Can Dance choreographers and occasional guest judges, Tabitha and Napoleon.
And fear not, if you happened to miss the sizzling routine, we've got the video for you.

Mia Michaels, who called Janette her favorite of the season, also agreed that losing her "was awful." But even Melissa admitted that their amazing routine "saved us, I think," while Ade, who has had his ups and downs with the voting -- and just barely survived the bottom...
