Banzai was the callsign of a Viper pilot and squad leader assigned to Galactica during the Cylon War.

During Operation Raptor Talon, William Adama was Banzai's wingman and made a failed attempt to defend Columbia from the Cylons who had broken through her defenses (Razor Flashbacks, Episode 3).

Banzai needed to exert a firm hand on the willful young Adama, as demonstrated by his actions in trying to pull Adama away from a wounded Jaycie McGavin (Razor Flashbacks, Episode 2) and, later, when trying to convince Adama not to follow the two Cylon Raiders down to the ice planet (Razor Flashbacks, Episode 3).

Notes

• Banzai briefly appears in Battlestar Galactica: Origins 5 comic, informing William Adama that the Cylons signed the Armistice and that Jaycie McGavin died as a result of her injuries.
