Akira helped Homer, Bart, and Lisa Simpson discover the origin of the mysterious Mr. Sparkle dishwashing detergent box (Mr. Sparkle bearing a striking resemblance to Homer).[1] He nearly killed Homer when he served him the fugu blowfish, which can only be properly prepared by the master chef (who is busy making out in his car).[2] Akira, Luigi, Captain McAllister, and other restaurant proprietors of Springfield attempted to assassinate Homer for giving their restaurants bad reviews.[3] He trained Marge Simpson in karate for an MMA fight.[4] Akira had to take a citizenship test when a proposition called for all illegal immigrants in Springfield to be deported.[5]
