In my knowledge, he appeared in TV as Henna Gaijin, speaking Japanese very
fast and joking terrible jokes (as Mr. Ishikawa and Mr. Wuertele says in
other articles) that derives silence to the audiences.  This I think is 
the case that too much adaption to Japan are not always welcomed.  At that 
time of his first appearance several years ago, he was introduced as 'ABC 
(maybe one of the three major in USA, not Asahi Ho^so^) Producer'.  

Gradually he has come to appear as commentator on programs like 'Asa made 
Nama terebi (Live Television until the next Morning)', a midnight talk show
in the form of debate but reaching no conclusion.  He points out problems
of policies, trades, education, or whatever subjects on Japan in comparison 
to what it is in US.  This may cause disguise to people from US.  Now his 
title is 'free-lance producer'.

I neither like him nor dislike him.  But I think at least he has wider 
insight if compared with another guy from US who is believed to be 
Matomona Gaijin, Kent Gilbert.
