Jim Morita was an American of Japanese descent who served in the US army as a ranger during WWII. He joined a Nisei Squadron under the command of Capt. "Happy Sam" Sawyer and served with the Howling Commandos on several missions.
Private James "Jim" Morita was a United States Army soldier during the World War II and a member of the Howling Commandos. After being rescued from a HYDRA prison camp, he was recruited into the newly formed Howling Commandos by Captain America and Bucky Barnes.
First Appearance: Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos #38 (January, 1967)
Eagle-eyed audience members might have caught a few clues in the office of Principal Morita (Kenneth Choi), who has a scene in which he warns Peter about keeping his academic career on track. In the corner of Morita’s office is a black-and-white photo of a military serviceman. That’s actually another Morita — Private Jim Morita, one of the Captain America’s Howling Commandos from “Captain America: The First Avenger.”
