Who was the Japanese TV host for that PBS program in the 80's?

Question

I remember there was a Japanese TV host for a PBS show in the 80's...something like Nova, but I'm not sure if it was it or another show. It had a short dude with a goatee and he looked like he was of Japanese decent but had an american accent. Anyone remember this dude's name or what the show was called? Thanks!

Answer 1

It was called The Nature of Things...the host was David Suzuki..and It was produced by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)
