From that article..."An Okinawan immigrant named Sakai “Jimmy” Sueyoshi ran the place, gave it its signature dish, and likely manned the counter for most of Oki-Dog’s halcyon days......It helped that Sueyoshi, the owner, looked out for his customers. Jimmy was cool as shit! He was super supportive and was always so giving and generous,” Vachon said. “He literally fed the whole neighborhood for free."

Yep, sounds like Jimmy! Jimmy owned the Oki Dogs on Santa Monica and Fairfax. I met him very late one night at the Fairfax location while waiting for my Oki Dog, bag of fries and large Coke. He was a real character, always battling the city over something, usually because of the constant crowds of kids at the Santa Monica eatery. They finally forced him to close Santa Monica. But he also owned a small cafe next door, they might have closed the Oki Dog but they didnt get rid of Jimmy.
