A mustachioed individual of an unknown [[species]] first appeared in ''[[Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope]]'', a [[1977]] film. In the movie, the individual was seated at the table that was seen at the start of the cantina scene. The mustachioed individual appeared in only one of the pick-up shots, and was quickly covered by Hem Dazon's head after it moved into the frame.
The filming of this character's table was part of supplemental shooting for the cantina scene recorded in the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]] after [[Wikipedia:Principal photography|principal photography]] was completed.
The masks used for the supplemental shoot were slip-on, made of rubber, and designed by makeup artist [[Rick Baker]].

[[Leland Chee]], the [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] official who maintains the [[Holocron continuity database]], stated on the [[StarWars.com]] [[StarWars.com Message Boards|forums]] that he believes the individual's mask was the same as that of another character in the cantina named [[Trinto Duaba]], with the addition of a mustache.

{{Quote|Some fan somewhere came up with the moniker, “Fu Manchu” for this guy, based on his rather unimpressive moustache dangling from his upper lip.|Pablo Hidalgo on the unofficial "Fu Manchu" nickname for the character|url=http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/2012/09/26/meet-braconnor-bakiska/}}

By the late [[1990s]], the character had received the nickname "Fu Manchu" from fans due to his mustache, but had still not been named in any official source.
[[Leland Chee]], the [[Lucasfilm Ltd.|Lucasfilm]] official who maintains the [[Holocron continuity database]], stated on the [[StarWars.com]] [[StarWars.com Message Boards|forums]] that he believed the individual's mask was the same as that of another character in the cantina named [[Trinto Duaba]], with the addition of a mustache.

This fact was confirmed by Rick Baker and posted in an [http://starwarsblog.starwars.com/index.php/2012/09/26/meet-braconnor-bakiska/ Official Star Wars Blog] written by [[Pablo Hidalgo]] and posted on [[StarWars.com]] on [[September 26]], [[2012]]. However, Baker was unware who put the mustache on the character's face, which he viewed as a stupid idea. Another one of the cantina makeup artists, [[Nick Maley]], did not view the character as a high-quality design.

the mustchioed individual was given a name as part of [[Pablo Hidalgo]] and [[Tom Spina]]'s "[[Behind the Scenes of the Cantina]]" panel at ''[[Celebration VI]]'',
a ''[[Star Wars]]'' convention held from [[August 23]] to [[August 26]] in [[wikipedia:Orlando|Orlando]], [[wikipedia:Florida|Florida]].
During the panel, Hidalgo formed the individual's first name "Braconner" from the name of an audience member named [[Brandon Connors]], although the spelling differed due to the fact that Hidalgo did not verify the spelling of Connors's name. The individual's last name—"Bakiska"—was formed from the names of ''Star Wars Episode IV'' artists Rick Baker and [[Laine Liska]].
Connors also received a replica of the character's mask made by Tom Spina Designs during the panel.

On [[August]] [[August 25|25]], [[2012]],
{{Blog|official=true|2012/08/22/exploring-the-creature-cantina-at-celebration-vi/|Exploring the Creature Cantina at Celebration VI}}
the mustchioed individual was given a name as part of [[Pablo Hidalgo]] and [[Tom Spina]]'s "[[Behind the Scenes of the Cantina]]" panel at ''[[Celebration VI]]'',
a ''[[Star Wars]]'' convention held from [[August 23]] to [[August 26]] in [[wikipedia:Orlando|Orlando]], [[wikipedia:Florida|Florida]].
In order to have some control over the name of the character, Hidalgo and Spina [[Tuckerization|formed]] the individual's last name—"Bakiska"—from the names of ''Star Wars Episode IV'' artists Rick Baker and Laine Liska. During the panel, cards for Tom Spina's design company which were decorated with the face of another cantina character known as [[Zutton|"Snaggletooth"]] were handed out to the audience. One fan received a card with a mustache drawn on the character's face, which was Hidalgo and Spina's way of selecting a fan to form the character's first name. An audience member named [[Brandon Connors]] received the special card, and Hidalgo formed the character's first name "Braconner" from Connors's name, although the spelling differed due to the fact that Hidalgo did not verify the spelling of the fan's name. As a prize for winning the contest, Connors also received a replica of the character's mask made by Tom Spina Designs during the panel.
After the original naming at the panel, Tom Spina and Pablo Hidalgo decided to change the character's name to "Braconnor Bakiska" in order to better represent the spelling of Brandon Connors's name. On September 26, 2012, Hidalgo wrote an official Star Wars Blog discussing the process of naming and researching the character. The blog post also confirmed that Bakiska was a male.
