Recent results now suggest that flavor physics could be an alternative path to breaking the Standard Model of particle physics. I will review the initial results from the first Belle II/SuperKEKB physics run that took  place April-June 2019 as well as the the long term physics program of Belle II and the innovative technologies that have made it possible. Belle II will soon become the leading experiment for exploration of the physics of B mesons, D mesons and tau leptons. I will also discuss the special role of Hawai'i in Belle II.
