The Backstory Behind Yakka
Yakka's character was originally going to be a quiet, shy character. The character was changed in between the second to last and last script draft for the pilot. He turned to a violent character.

He was the idea of Carl Jit originally but his sister, Lisa Shee had the idea of the violent one. Yakka is the least complicated character in the series to create.

Luke Gartson
Yakka was played by Luke Gartson. Luke was always angry on set. "He was always kicking the wall and yelling. His fits would be extremely violent." says Carl Jit. Luke died on October 6th, 1994 due to a sickness. "Luke was healthy" says Harold Teks "I mean..he never had any signs of sickness. I still miss him. He was angry all the time but...he couldn't control it."

Carl Jit's thoughts on Yakka
''I was never a fan of Yakka. My original idea was my favorite character. He was like me as a kid, even though he was an adult in the show. I didn't have many friends as a kid. The only friends I had were the writers for the show and my wife, Hannah "Bard" Jit. She liked Yakka and so did Lisa, that's why I kept it. That is pretty much it.''
