Mickey Curtis questions

[J.sharp]

Hi Kinejapanners,

I'd like to pick some brains about the actor/musician Mickey Curtis.

I know that started off as a famous rockabilly singer, as part of a group
called Rokabiri Sannin Otoko (maybe mis-romanised), who gained prominance in
1958.

Looking at the various web resources, both Japanese and otherwise, I see he
was born in Tokyo as a certain Brian Kachisu, with his surname spelt in
kanji characters but obviously approximating the English name Curtis. But I
don't see any mention anywhere of his parent's nationality. I am assuming
his father must have been an American (though he was born in 1938, so
obviously not a child of the occupation). Does anyone have any ideas?

Hope you can help!

Jasper
