Half brother vs. half brother

Okay, yes, I know people on here say I am obsessed with Hank'
s half brother Junichrio in Japan, which I am not but he is one of my favorite chracters despite being in only one episode but here goes. Who is cooler Junichrio or Homer Simpson's half brother Herbert Powell? Also, with the exception of Luann's wedding where he is a no lined cameo scene filler why did Junichiro never visit Hank in Arlen so that he could meet his friends, Luann, and neigbor Khan? It looked like Hank would want to have kept up with him after meeting him in Japan. Did he ever even mention him again? Also, I wanted him to interact with his nephew Bobby.

He was good but was never meant to be a recurring character.otherwise he wouldve been in more eps. His story was told.

I know but I still wanted to see him more but it didn't work out that way.

Would he have gotten along with John Redcorn, Didi or Khan?

I would've liked to have seen more of him too. I loved the part when he and Peggy were in bed and he was thinking of scenarios (I can't remember them exactly.): "Hey, there's those Hill brothers again." "What are those Hill brothers up to now?"

I think the culture clash would also have had a lot of funny material. No doubt also there'd be some rivalry among him, the Souphanousinphones, and the Wassanasongs---maybe regarding the Nine Rivers country club. Again, I see a lot of good stuff there.

I also wanted to see Bobby bond with his Uncle Junichiro since they never bonded in the Japan episopde. And he could meet his baby brother GH who was young enough to be his grandson.

I liked both.
