George Takei and Pat Morita became famous for supporting roles in Star Trek and Happy Days. In 1976, Morita starred on the first American sitcom centered on a person of Asian descent, Mr. T and Tina and went on to become widely known as the mentor Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid movies of the 1980s.

Halvsie's mission is to find "All the Hāfu" and as part of that we are collecting the basic biographies of as many notable hhāfu as we can find. This is our wiki, we have a collection of hāfu videos, interviews and links to other articles at our primary homepage halvsie.com and we also host a Social Network for hāfu members at social.halvsie.com.
To help support our efforts, please check out our Japanifornia Shop for Japanese-inspired t-shirts, stickers and other stuff from all of these various collections. Have fun!
