Jackass
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).
Manaka is the only new cast member who does not appear in any new footage in Jackass: Best and Last (2026). No reason why has been given yet. He did, however, attend the special screening of Jackass: Best and Last at BFI IMAX in London, England, on 15 June 2026, along with Knoxville, Pontius, and director and producer Jeff Tremaine.
