"Guten Tag, boys. Alright, nice and calm. No sudden moves, or we'll tie a blasting cap to your...Hey, Dugan, what's the German word for "nuts"?"

- Jim Morita

Jim Morita was a Japanese-American soldier who was born in Fresno, California. Morita was captured and imprisoned by HYDRA. When Captain America liberated the facility in which he was a prisoner, Morita and his companions broke free and wreaked havoc on the HYDRA soldiers, coming back to the Allied military base immediately after.

Shortly after their break-out, Morita and his comrades were invited to join a special elite squadron led by Rogers himself. Morita accepted, despite the perspective of coming back to the front-line immediately after merely escaping with his life. Along with the other Howlers, Morita took part in every assault against HYDRA, until, during the last one at Johann Schmidt's fortress, Rogers went missing in action.

Morita, along with SSR agent Peggy Carter and fellow commando Dum Dum Dugan, then captured the last known HYDRA base in Austria, along with HYDRA General Werner Reinhardt and an alien Obelisk.

After the War
Morita died after the war, as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files given to Steve Rogers when he awoke in the 21st century report Morita's status as deceased.
