Daniel Mayer

Daniel Mayer was a flight attendant who served on the flight with which Kenny Blackwood travelled to Japan in 2015. When Kenny appeared to be stressed, Daniel patted his arm and asked him if he was feeling nervous. He assures Kenny of the safety of the plane, mentioning that he has flown from Seattle to Tokyo a hundred times. He told Kenny that he would love Japan and noted the contrast between modern technology and ancient culture and tradition.

When Kenny fell on the peanut lady upon discovering Poyo in his overhead locker, Daniel approached him again and asked if he could help. When Kenny described Poyo, Daniel suspected him of trying to pull a prank, as he could not see the tanuki. He told Kenny to sit back down and closed the locker.

Daniel is characterized as a professional, friendly, but also strict flight attendant. He managed to succesfully calm down Kenny by striking up a conversation and deescalate the situation between him and the peanut lady.
