Robert W. Zix (born December 21, 1949), known professionally as Kamasami Kong, is an American disc jockey and radio host. Previously a host for the Hawaii radio station KIKI, Kong has since moved to Tokyo, Japan to continue his career.[1][2] Kong's broadcast style and distinct voice led him to get a cult following in Japan due to him playing city pop in Hawaii in the genre's early stages, as well as lending his voice to multiple city pop compilation albums.[3]
