Little Known Fact: Before Star Wars Ever Existed, Yoda Appeared on McHale's Navy - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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?

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.
