A-4 Honolulu. January 5,1975 The Sunday Star-Bulletin Advertiser Kikaider sweeps the Islands UH player free on bail in gun case University of Hawaii football player Onosai Tanuvasa, 22, of Kalena Drive was freed on $300 bail early yesterday in a Friday night gun incident. Tanuvasa, arrested at the Kalihi Library on Kahhl Street at 9:15 p.m. Friday, was charged with harassment and carrying a handgun without a permit. Tanuvasa was booked at the police station after being treated at Queen's Hospital for a head injury suffered in a fracas with police outside the library.

POLICE SAID they went to the library after reports shots were being fired. They arrived to find Tanuvasa and another man, also 22, in a car, they said. Police said a scuffle occurred after drugs were found at the scene. Tanuvasa was subdued and arrested. Police said it was not determined if any shots had been discharged or if fireworks had been set off.

HE SCOFFED at the opinion that the television shows are popular because they aren't haole-dominated. "That's a bunch of nonsense. Kids don't care," he said. "I remember when mine were Davy Crockett fans. Did you ever see a Japanese Davy Crockett? Haole kids don't need a haole Kikai der." He said the shows are done so well that children who can't read English or understand Japanese can follow the plot by the colorful action.

"The shows are unique," he said. "I'm sure kids on the Mainland would love them. Kids any place would." KIKU HAS no immediate plans to further glut the Hawaii market with new monster shows from Japan. But keep Robocon in mind. He is a funny robot who is popular with young Japanese audiences now.

Will he be the next action that thrill youngsters appal many adults who have complained to KIKU. "Compared to the ones going on in Japan now," said Miss Ninomiya, "these are really tame." Not tame enough for Cynthia Grade, director of the Out Saviour Lutheran Church Pre-School of Aiea. "We had a lot of behavior problems with kids un-realistically transferring the violent aspects of Kikaider to their playing," she said. "They were karate chopping one another and batting each other over the head with the dolls." Parents finally were requested to keep the T-shirts and dolls at home, a step which improved conduct. Several other pre-schools had to do the same thing.

CLINICAL psychologist Dr. James Denny called the shows sirnpleminded and awful, but not detrimental. "I don't think Kikaider is any sillier than some of the things we had," he "I heard a lot about Kikaider in school," said Jeff Skov, 12. "I remember thinking what kind of great super-hero is this and started watching." HIS 4-YEAR-OLD sister, Leslie, can't read the English subtitles or understand Japanese. "So she wants to learn Japanese," said Mrs.

Helen Skov, "because she doesn't think we're telling her what they're really saying." Mrs. Skov is a fan of the subtitles. "One of my favorites is, 'You're nothing but a junk Kikaider-Ol is the favorite now of Stewart Iwamu-ro, 9. "Kikaider's dead now," said his friend, Paul Goto, with whom he was going to see the H.I.C. show.

"No, he's net," said Iwamuro. "His head blew off, but he's back again," said Goto. "Yeah. In reruns," retorted his friend. THE FIGHTING and said.

"I grew up listening to Terry and the Pirates on afternoon radio." He said it is healthy when children act out television show roles. "Play be it as a cowboy, an Indian or a mother is healthy and very important for children. They try out adult roles. These shows give them a chance to try out roles. It's a part of growing up." MINOR DISAGREEMENT exists about whether the shows succeed here because of the multiracial population melting pot.

"It's debatable," said Miss Ninomiya. "The Oriental hero might be hard to digest in the Midwest or New York." She did say she thought Hawaii's cosmopolitan makeup makes it easier for the shows to succeed. Ralph Yempuku, promoter of the current Kikaider-01 shows at H.I.C, said the packed houses are mostly non-Japanese. "This is being received by 35 per cent haole, 30 per cent Japanese and the rest Hawaiian, Chinese and every other race here," Yempuku said. WALLACE S.

and understands the difference between the characters," he said. "She loves to cut out the pictures of the monsters the heroes that appear in the newspapers. She also cuts out pictures Of George Ariyoshi." Theories abound as to the incredible popularity of the shows. "THE MONSTERS are so original, so very imaginative, cute and kind of funny," said KIKU's Miss Ninomiya. "The stars of the show are young.

Only old people are used for parents. "The children are heroes. Children here are fascinated. Their imaginations run wild." She admitted to being fascinated herself. "I never saw things like that as a child." It was Miss Ninomiya who requested that NET send KIKU a monster series.

"We wanted to attract more young viewers," she said. About four months after Kikaider debuted in early 1974, the public between preschool and intermediate ages was hooked.
