Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.
Please see the reasons for this title in the "Behind the scenes" section below, and/or the relevant discussion on the talk page.
A gong striker was employed at Club Obi Wan in Shanghai in 1935. He was a large, bald-headed man dressed in black harem pants.
The tall, heavyset attendant rang the gong at the start of Willie Scott's rendition of Anything Goes. Later, after Indiana Jones had been poisoned, Kao Kan appeared wielding a machine gun and the performer fled for his life as gunfire fired at Jones headed in his direction.
