Captain Sulu was a Starfleet officer. In 2344, Chakotay's entry into Starfleet Academy was sponsored by Captain Sulu. (VOY: "Tattoo")
- It is not clear which Sulu this was reference to. Hikaru Sulu and his daughter Demora would have been 107 and 76 respectively in 2344. Given Doctor McCoy's tour of the USS Enterprise-D as an admiral at age 137 (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint"), neither of the before mentioned Sulu's can be excluded on the basis of age. It should also be noted that Chakotay used the male pronoun "he" when referring to Captain Sulu.
- The non-canon anthology Tales from the Captain's Table states that it was Captain Demora Sulu who sponsored him. The story also suggests an explanation for why Chakotay specifically referred to the Captain Sulu who sponsored him as "he" in "Tattoo".
