Sulu, Hikaru (George Takei)
Helm officer aboard the the original Starship Enterprise under the command
of James T. Kirk. Sulu, born in 2237 in San Fransisco on Earth (Star Trek
IV: The Voyage Home), was initially assigned as a physicist ("Where No Man
Had Gone Before" TOS) aboard the Enterprise in 2265 ("The Deadly Years" TOS)
, but later transferred to the helm ("The Corbomite Maneuver" TOS).
Sulu had a wide range of hobbies, including botany ("The Man Trap" TOS),and
fencing. The latter interest surfaced when Sulu suffered the effects of the
PSI 2000 virus in 2366, and Sulu threatened everyone insight with a foil
("The Naked Time" TOS). Old style handguns were another of Sulu's hobbies,
and he had always wanted a Police Special in his collection ("Shore Leave"
TOS).
Sulu's first appearance was in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (TOS),
but by "The Corbomite Maneuver" (TOS) he had assumed his familiar post at
the helm.
