According to the official site the character's English name is Samson Oak, which you might want to add to the article. It's a nice play on names since Oak's first name is Samuel.

Since when is being tanned considered a different race? Osakans and Okinawans are usually depicted as having darker skin but they're still Japanese. Nariya is Japanese just like Yukinari is.

Oh okay, I just thought that this new guy was of Caribbean descent or something because of the skin. My bad.

I guess Satoshi's mind will be blown when he meets the other Prof. Okido.
So if Prof. Okido has a cousin(I assume Nariya was born in Alola and that they talk every now and then) in a place that has Mega Evolution, why didn't he bring up Mega Evolution in the beginning of the series?
I am joking around

I'm bet Ash will be shocked to high heaven when he finds out about Professor Oak's cousin "that he never knew he had."

But it is possible that he is bi-racial, like Ms. Japan? Would be a nice twist to have for the series once in awhile.
Game is shaping up to be something unique, the theme especially.

This is going to be pretty surprising enough for Ash to find out once the anime comes close to the Sun and Moon saga.
