So sad that we can't find anything about him.

He's got to have people somewhere.

Will someone please refresh my memory, is this case in one of the FGG pipelines?

I believe I've mentioned it to all of them (some more than once) but I haven't heard of anyone looking to pick it up.

Thanks for getting the word out.
@othram - We've contacted the military and military groups in hopes of identifying this set of remains with fingerprints or recognizing his face/tattoos, to no avail. I also contacted the medical examiner back in 2018 about the possibility of obtaining a usable DNA sample for genetic genealogy, but it doesn't appear they've jumped on the bandwagon for this case. Is there any way we can get this young man in the pipeline? Thank you.

@Caring1 Hey could you post the current list of NamUs exclusions for this John Doe? I would greatly appreciate it.

I emailed the contact for Howard Shizue Takanaka Jr to see what tattoo he had. Howard is a US Army veteran 25TH Infantry in Hawaii (Tropical Lightning) and his physical description is lining up.
There is a family tree in Ancestry that says that Howard Takenaka Birth Date: 8 Sep 1957 "disappeared with no trace while driving from Wisconsin to Florida" but in 1980.

I REALLY think you're on to something here.

Bumping for attention. Does me sound familiar to anyone working on a 1980's missing person case?
