I found out this surprising piece of information after reading today's SO blog paying tribute to Gavin McLeod. Wait, you thought it was that Yoda? :lol: :king: Some little known actor (or actress?) was named Yoshio Yoda. A little bit of conflicting info: the blog says Yoda left McHale's Navy the same year Gavin McLeod did. But epguides.com says Yoda was part of the whole show, not just the first two seasons. I will have to see what my primetime directory says when I get back to my apartment later.

I tried to list the main cast members that were part of the first two seasons that Gavin MacLeod appeared in. I didn't include anybody that joined the cast after he left.

I didn't note the years that Yoshio Yoda appeared in as Fuji Kobiaji. IMDB lists him as being in all 4 seasons and 138 episodes.
