Ohara is an American police procedural television series that first aired on the ABC television network from January 17, 1987, until May 7, 1988, starring Pat Morita in the title role of Lt. Ohara.

Kevin Conroy, Jon Polito, Rachel Ticotin, and Robert Clohessy also starred in supporting roles.

The series focuses on an unconventional Los Angeles-based Japanese-American police lieutenant named Ohara (Pat Morita) who uses spirituality methods such as meditation in his home shrine to solve crimes without the use of a gun or a partner, although he would use martial arts if necessary.

He was later paired with a partner named Lt. George Shaver (Robert Clohessy) who was a more conventional cop.

The second season had a final format change in which Ohara and his partner were turned into private investigators.
