The only person I can think of who fits the latter part of the
description is Scott Something (I can't remember his last name, but it
wasn't Robbins and he wasn't the infamous person who got his IP
blocked from all TLUG hosts) who was from Utah and worked for
TurboLinux.  Steve Baur worked for TurboLinux and Adrian Havill for
Red Hat, and later left Japan, but neither could be described as
"fleeing" Japan IMO.

I sort of recall the comments you refer to, but I wouldn't associate
them with any of the above.
