Lieutenant Stuart "Banzai" Bachanal was a Viper pilot and squadron leader assigned to Galactica during the Cylon War.

During Operation Raptor Talon, William Adama flew as Banzai's wingman in a failed attempt to defend Columbia from the Cylons who had knocked out her defenses (Razor Flashbacks, Episode 3).

Banzai had to be firm with the willful young Adama, having to pull Adama away from a wounded Jaycie McGavin (Razor Flashbacks, Episode 2) and later unsuccessfully trying to keep Adama from following 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.
• Banzai may be named after Dr. Buckaroo Banzai from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
