[edit]In May 2021, Knoxville announced that Manaka, along with four other people, will be the new cast members in Jackass Forever (2022).[4] Manaka, as well as Jasper Dolphin, were the first people of colour to be on the main cast of Jackass.[5][6] When asked about why he was a member of the Jackass franchise, Manaka stated, "I love skating, and I love getting a bit hurt."[7] Like the other new cast members, Manaka also appeared in Jackass 4.5 (2022).
