Northwest Nazarene University Athletics

Emiko was a member of the NNU men's basketball team from 1991-95, ending his career and remaining to this day as one of the premier players in Northwest Nazarene history. At the time of induction, Emiko is the only first or second team All-American in men’s basketball program history, named to the NAIA Second Team in both 1993-94 and 1994-95 as well as an Honorable Mention honor in 1992-93. He was a part of the 1994-95 NAIA National Runner-Up squad that is also being inducted this year, making it farther into the postseason than any other men's basketball program from Nampa. That year, he also set an NAIA record for made free-throws in a national tournament with 35. Emiko's career rankings in program history are remarkable, as to this day he is third in scoring with 1,660 points, first in free throws made with 543, first in free throws attempted with 728, ninth in rebounds with 897, eighth in defensive rebounds with 540, sixth in offensive rebounds with 357, seventh in blocked shots with 68, first in steals with 390, first in games played with 133, third in games started with 94, and fourth in minutes played with 2,655. At the conclusion of his NNU career, Emiko was awarded two of NNU's prestigious end-of-the-year honors - the Glen Reed Award for men's basketball and the Orrin E. Hills Male Athlete of the Year Award.
