This handsome studio model trailed the others in this group in popularity,
You make a good point and I agree, Greggy. The Colt catalog is pretty well indexed on line, and several searches produced nothing under Asian models for that studio. I got it off tumblr, and as usual, the OP had no info.
I'm not sure why Asian men are so underrepresented in beefcake physique photography. He looks like some of the guys I went to HS and college with, back in the day.
There are exactly three Asian models in my classic era (1940-1965) physique photo collection. Bruce of LA had Dean Higuchi in what looks like a small series of Kodachrome slides. Jean Ferraro featured Rene Domini in about half a dozen photos. And Douglas of Detroit has one lonely and tantalizing photo of an unknown. Looks like Asian men were underrepresented in those two go-to groups for model recruitment, bodybuilders and hustlers/trollops.
This photo looks more recent than the rest. It has a Colt studios feel to it. And it's my favorite of the bunch, too.
