Appeared in Seasons 2 to 11Of all the recurring characters, Lieutenant Kellye Yamato (played by Kellye Nakahara) is the one who has the most on-screen appearances. She's in approximately two-thirds of the show's episodes, rising from being a background character in earlier seasons to generally getting a little more to do in later seasons, eventually becoming one of the show's most endearing characters.
Many other nurse characters felt like they came and went or were consistently cycled through as extras, but Yamato managed to have sticking power, and appeared in more episodes than some main cast members. She also gets a spotlight episode at the start of season 11, with "Hey, Look Me Over" largely being about her calling out Hawkeye's shallowness when it comes to the nurses he tries to woo, and how she's the only nurse he hasn't pursued romantically.
Appeared in Seasons 8 to 11Sergeant Luther Rizzo (G.W. Bailey) was more or less the replacement for Sergeant Zelmo Zale, entering the show in its eighth season, and several episodes after Zale's final appearance. He didn't have the exact same role within the 4077th, as Rizzo was in charge of the motor pool, which is a fleet of motor vehicles available for use by certain personnel at a military installation.
