Line 1:
'''Emmanuel Logrono''' (born approx. [[1951]]), better known as ''Sunshine Logrono'' is a famous [[Puerto Rican]] actor, show host, singer and comedian. Logrono has enjoyed success on Puerto Rican [[television]] for four decdes.
With the [[Great Depression]], [[Japan]] like some other countries turned to [[Fascism]]. While it was a unique form of the system, probably due to cultural differences, Japan parelled the western form very closely, as its [[Feudalism]] did hundreds of years earlier. Unlike [[Hitler]] and [[Benito Mussolini|Mussolini]], though, Japan had two economic goals in developing an empire. First, as with its European counterparts, a tightly-controlled domestic military industry apparently jump started the nation's economy in the midst of the depression. Also, due to the lack of resources on Japan's home islands, in order to maintain an strong industrial sector with strong growth, raw materials such as iron, oil, and coal largely had to be imported. Most of these materials came from the [[United States]] at the time. So, for the sake of military-industrial development scheme, and just industrial growth on the whole, [[mercantilist]] theories prevailed, and the Japanese felt that resource-rich [[colonies]] were needed to compete with European powers. [[Korea]] (1910) and [[Formosa]] ([[Taiwan]], 1895) had earlier been annexed as primarily agricultural colonies. [[Manchuria]]'s iron and coal, [[Indochina]]'s Rubber, and [[China]]'s pretty much everything were prime targets for industry.
 
Logrono's first steps in the entertainment business were with the typical Puerto Rican music group, ''[[Haciendo Punto en Otro Son]]'', alongside, among others, [[Jacobo Morales]] and [[Silverio Perez]]. ''Haciendo Punto en Otro Son'' made a few albums during the [[1970s]], but by the late years of that decade, the group disbanded. However, Logrono, Morales and Perez would soon reunite, adding [[Horacio Olivo]] and forming a musical group named ''[[Los Rayos Gamma]]'. ''Los Rayos Gamma'' had a television show on [[Supersiete|channel 7]], where they satirized politicians with their songs. The went on to make a few albums too.
Manchuria (today part of northwest China) was invaded and successfully conquered in 1931, with little trouble. Ostensibly, this Japan did this to liberate the Manchus from the Chinese, just as the annexation of Korea was supposedly an act of protection. As with Korea, a puppet government was set up. Jehol, a Chines territory bordering Manchuria, was taken in 1933.
 
After ''Los Rayos Gamma'' disbanded, Sunshine kept active, making apprearances at several tv shows. Then, in [[1989]], he began hosting a show named ''Sunshines Cafe'' on [[WAPA-TV]]. ''Sunshines Cafe'' was very popular among [[Puerto Rico]]'s tv viewers. Sunshine played many characters, including a [[Homosexual|homosexual]] named ''Vitin'', and many of his phrases became household sayings.
Japan invaded China in 1937, creating what was essentially a three-way war between Japan, Mao Zedong's communists, and Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists. Japan took control of much China's coasts and port cities, but very carefully avoided Europeans in their enclaves. The year before their Chinese invasion, Japan signed an anti-communism treaty with Germany, and another with Italy in 1937 itself.
 
In [[1991]], Logrono had a chance to star in a [[Hollywood]] movie: he acted opposite [[Martin Short]] and [[Kurt Russell]] in ''[[Captain Ron]]''.
 
Logrono attempted to show his serious actor side in the late [[1990s]], participating in various theater plays.
 
Currently, he is the host of a show named ''Sunshine en la Noche'' (''Sunshine at Night'').
