Jackass
In May 2021, Knoxville announced that Manaka, along with four other people, will be the new cast members in Jackass Forever (2022). Manaka, as well as Jasper Dolphin, were the first people of colour to be on the main cast of Jackass. When asked about why he was a member of the Jackass franchise, Manaka stated, "I love skating, and I love getting a bit hurt." Like the other new cast members, Manaka also appeared in Jackass 4.5 (2022).
Manaka is the only new cast member who does not appear in any new footage in Jackass: Best and Last (2026). No reason why has been given yet. He did, however, attend the special screening of Jackass: Best and Last at BFI IMAX in London, England, on 15 June 2026, along with Knoxville, Pontius, and director and producer Jeff Tremaine.
