Born in Tokyo on March 31, 1934, Yoda was studying law at Keio University in Japan when he was encouraged to pursue an acting career, and he enrolled at the University of Southern California’s film school in 1958. Fight on forever, Yoshio!

Even the 60’s had woke characters in Hollywood. Wouldn’t want to offend Japanese American’s with a US Navy ship fighting Japan.

I know this may be Boomer talk, but tell me, what generation had the best TV and the best music.

For the past 6 months I’ve been watching McHale’s Navy episodes nightly via Youtube . First 2 seasons were excellent but seasons 3 and 4 hit and miss IMO .

I was told by a Japanese friend that it was common for Japanese soldiers who surrendered (there weren’t many) to almost immediately collaborate with their American captors. Can’t verify if that’s correct. But it could be explained by the psychological break which would happen after intense conditioning to consider surrender unthinkable. In fact, it matches how the entire country behaved after the general surrender.

When I was young and watched the show and reruns in the 60’s and 70’s, I thought it was a sitcom. Then I joined the Navy in 1976 and discovered it was a documentary.

McHale’s Navy is on my short list of favorite all-time shows, but I don’t remember the Japanese crewman.
