A warrior in Tarzan the Fearless (1933), his first credited appearance, Kikume later played Chief Lutembi in Republic Pictures' legendary jungle serial Jungle Girl (1941). He was demoted to a mere member of the tribe in the even more fondly remembered sequel, Perils of Nyoka (1942), but was created a chief again in the self-explanatory Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla (1952). The veteran bit player died of a heart ailment. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
