I found a post from Meaghan's blog from 2014 about Jitsuro.

"Although it says “few details are available in his case” I actually know a little bit more about Jitsuro’s disappearance than it says on Charley. I got an email nearly five years ago from a high school friend of his. But I didn’t feel comfortable putting it all on the website, since it wasn’t from any “official” source and since it was information that might upset Jitsuro’s family.

Here’s what little I feel like I can say: Jitsuro dropped out of sight mysteriously in 1984, but it wasn’t until his high school’s ten-year class reunion in 1994 that my correspondent found out he was missing. Fliers were mailed out with the class reunion invitations, asking people who knew Jits (that was his nickname) to get in touch with a private investigator who was looking into his disappearance. My correspondent did speak to the P.I., who said Jits left a note when he disappeared. Suffice it to say that the person who wrote me believes Jitsuro is probably dead.

His family, according to the email I got, still lives in Berkeley."

I wonder if this UID is Jitsuro? He has long hair and the height is maybe off by an inch. Weight is off but maybe he gained weight while he went missing. Distance is a bit far but doable if you can either fly, take a train, hitchhiked or taken a bus. I have contacted SD CrimeStoppers and NamUs but no response. Maybe LE has looked into this as a potential match but who knows for sure.

Thanks for contacting them. I think it's a possibility.

Can anyone see if he has any UID exclusions in NamUs?

Forgot to mention that this UID is also Asian just like Jitsuro.

It's a long shot but I have submitted this as a possibility.

Good catch! I also think he looks like Kay Kanaki (MP41006) but might be a rule out for him as he is much older than Jitsuro.
