(Side issue here): This is a great plot for a movie. Aging Japanese business owner sells to eager African man. The old customers of the business warily approach the man & his family, deeply suspicious of the gaijin. Still, he shows respect for their traditions, learns Japanese as well as he can, takes part in the community...
OK, it's a reach. I would not play it for laughs, like Mr. Baseball (Tom Selleck). Let the humor come organically.
