Update: in "The Flower Plot", Joe Jitsu said he was from Sacramento. So yes he is canonically an American citizen. (Something I found out later on is that Sacramento used to have a Japantown irl but it disappeared alongside many other Japantown after WWII.)
@@bunnybird9342 If Joe Jitsu was an American Citizen and served in the US Army, the Japanese-US Army units did their most famous fighting in the Italian campaign, so it's interesting (if I'm remembering correctly) that there was an episode where Joe Jitsu ends up in Italy (Venice, I think) working with an Italian detective. So maybe Joe fought in Italy and was sent back because he was familiar with the country? But I hardly think the guys writing these cartoons actually gave it all that much thought, LOL.
Fun fact: that's because the cartoon was designed to have a live-action host dress up as a policeman and introduce the show, and then look like he was calling Dick Tracy. That is why Dick Tracy is always calling at the beginning, because it's supposed to look like they were calling each other. Unfortunately, these live-action segments are now lost.
In the original English version, some episodes he mentions doing judo while other episodes he mentions doing jiu-jitsu. So I would assume he knows both I guess
Wonderful work fellas!!
my dad showed me these when i was 10 and joe jitzu is my favorite. im glad i was born with a sense of humor instead instead of a sense of outrage.
I believe Joe Jitsu is most people's favorite actually
This is dericious! I rove it.
I heard that in Joe Jitsu's voice is that a good or bad thing
Joe Juitsu, and Prune-face, are Censored.
I was obsessed with Mumbles. But I like Pruneface and Itchy better
Various TV Cartoons from WGBS-TV's Bozo Show
Priceless
WOW is this uncomfortable!
Pruneface is my boy
Didn't QUITE stand the test of time.
Yikes, time has not been kind to this.
100 years from now, they'll say the same about today
In the comic strip version, Pruneface was a Nazi spy, so in World War 2, he and Joe Jitsu would have been on the same side.
What about Itchy?
@@finelineguy8733 Itchy was a bad dude. He tried to starve Dick Tracy to death. But he wasn't a spy. He was just an ordinary crook.
Joe is presumably American though. So who knows, he was probably interned at the time.

*STOP SCRATCHING ITCHY*
I am guessing Itchy had eczema.
.......... w/a Side of Psoriasis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dick Tracy had about 2% of the storyline in every episode. He would always turn up at the end, though

Seriously, how does he do that?
Cartoon logic
ジョー・ジツは柔道の達人だから、柔術から来ているネーミングなのかな？
日本での放送では彼をヤマダ警部と呼んでいました

Only thing THIS muthaFucca ever did was @ss time that chair and pass off his duties to others.
