They are now called Kuwahara Bikeworks, not sure if it's still the same Kuwahara family running it. Looks like they're a distributor for American brands in japan.

The name is still going (in some form).

BMX Museum shows a retro 2011 model and rumored 2012 prototypes:

From memory, didn't they produce a rerun of KZ-1 frame and forksets from original blueprints avout 3-4 years ago?

It is the same Kuwahara as back then, although I suspect a lot of actual Kuwahara built bikes were done as a a fabricator for other brands.
