    Who is he?
    Just guessing for fun now: Glen Miyashiro?

        Nope. Glenn Miyashiro was modeled as the "typical local Japanese male".

        Not Mr. Barbosa either (whoever that is).

        Hint: He wasn't created by Frank DeLima.

          Mahalo for that clarification. So now I narrowed it down to either Rap, Andy, or Booga Booga.

              Sounds like the old Rinso detergent guy: "I liked da package."

                  O.K. One more hint. He had a Japanese last name and he wore a Primo Beer Can Yarn hat (remember those!).

                    Yeah I remember those hats were the rage at the Swap Meets.

                    Was it a skit by Booga Booga?

                      The name is on the tip of my tongue. Give us another hint, what's the first letter?

                            O.K. Close enough. It was Mr. Okada from Rap Replinger's "Secret Taste Test" skit. The character's whole name was James Kilpatrick Mauhine Montegue DelRio Okada Junior the third, but the host conveniently shortened that to "Mr. Okada". He had to choose between SODA "A" or SODA "X", but instead, he made a meal out of the soda cracker palate chaser.

                            It was hilarious when that soda cracker dangled off his goatee. Cracks me up every time!

                              I know. I remember the commercial too, "I like da cracka". The funny part about it was the announcer who spoke in a very formal voice.

                                I've got one. Name the local surfer who popularized the Lightning Bolt logo in the 70s.
