Template:Sidebar character Demora Sulu was a Starfleet officer and daughter of Hikaru Sulu, born in 2271. At the rank of ensign, she served at the helm of the USS Enterprise-B, beginning in 2293, under the command of Captain John Harriman.
During the christening ceremony of the Enterprise-B, Sulu met James T. Kirk for the first time since 2281. During her introduction, she noted to Kirk that she had heard some "interesting stories" about him from her father, and he assured her that he was glad she was there, saying "It wouldn't be the Enterprise without a Sulu at the helm".

Background
Demora Sulu was played by Jacqueline Kim. Her lines in the script for Star Trek Generations were originally written for Hikaru Sulu, but George Takei turned down the offer to appear in the movie. The writers considered making the character Pavel Chekov's daughter before settling on the relationship with Sulu. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
In an article entitled "George Takei" which appeared Star Trek: Communicator Issue 100, Takei discussed his take on his character having a daughter, stating:
- "It's intriguing. I'd like to know how I had her. Who her mother is. That's the thing about doing a long-lasting serialized film or TV series. You really are in the hands of the writers and the other molders and shapers of the series. You make your input and you hope for the best. In my case my input didn't take too much during the time I was there and I'm so delighted to discover that I was so ultimately productive after the fact."
