[net.startrek] Sulu?

jody@inuxd.UUCP (JoLinda Ross) (01/21/86)

Last weekend (Jan. 18,) George Takei visited Indianapolis.  He
was at one of the mall here giving autographs and pictures to 
those who got up to see him.  

I, however, was more interested in the reactions of the people
milling around then I was in seeing a castmember of Star Trek.
One thing that kept coming up during the whole event was "Oh
there's Sulu!!!!"  It was then I realized that I didn't Know
Sulu's first name.  I could not remember ever hearing it.

I realize I will be accused of being a Klingon spy, but I wonder
if anyone would tell me what Sulu's first name is, please.

Thanks in advanced

      Sulu's first name is Hikaru (sp).  Also, I don't accuse you of being
a Klingon spy because my tribble didn't react strangely when I read your
article.

according to the books, Mr. Sulu's first name is hikaru.
It is never mentioned in the series itself.

I remember reading in several places that fans had decided it was "Walter".
The name "Hikaru" comes from a Star Trek novel (sorry, I forget which one).
Take your pick... I don't think Sulu ever had an "official" first name.
