Captain of the Heiwa Maru

The skipper of Heiwa Maru escorted the Yeti Lama from Japan to Eureka, Jefferson in 1979. Judging by his age, he had probably fought for the Empire during World War II. The skipper welcomed Governor Bill Williamson aboard his ship, then joined the Governor, the Lama, the Governor's publicist Barbara Rasmussen, and several monks and sailors for a photo op.
