Tricia Takanawa REVEALED

This just in: Quahog’s very own Asian reporter, Tricia Takanawa, is indeed not only Asian, but also Japanese.


Dedicated to her craft, Takanawa has endured the flu, severe storms, and interviewing the “guy who rides his ten speed everywhere” while on the job … Note: “What kind of Cancer?”



“…Thank you, Diane. I’m standing here outside of the Park-Barrington hotel, because they don’t allow Asians inside.”

More awesome quotes on Takanawa’s My Space.  Tidbits here.

The new season of Family Guy premieres tonight on FOX, Sunday, September 27 at 9pm.  (Seth MacFarlane’s The Cleveland Show also premieres it’s first episode tonight on FOX at 8:30pm.)
