Hikaru Sulu
Hikaru Sulu is a main character inĀ Star Trek: The Original Series. He served as helm officer onboard the U.S.S Enterprise alongside Pavel Chekov. He was then promoted to chief helmsman by Captain Kirk. A few decades later, Sulu assumed command of the starship Excelsior. After a full career, he remained captain on patrol of the Cardassian border. His hobbies included fencing, botany, and martial arts. George Takei (oh my!) portrays Sulu in the television series, and John Cho portrays Sulu in the 2009 cinema reboot.
