Secret Identities with Secret Asian Man Tak Toyoshima

Leave a reply

channelAPA.com interviewed Secret Asian Man Tak Toyoshima about his contribution to the upcoming Secret Identites book. His story is about the interview he had with Larry Hama, one of the writers for G.I. Joe. However, in order to use Secret Asian Man (SAM) in Secret Identities, Tak Toyoshima had to convince United Features to allow him to do it. With everyone’s hard word and effort, you can see SAM meet Larry in Secret Identities and find out why there aren’t more Asian American superheroes.

BTW – This was a crazy weekend for us when we shot this with Tak. It was the same weekend as ISA SF 2009. We were exhausted.
