( Kim ll Sung was a brutal mass-murder ER, communist leader of North Korea and the start of the whole Korean War. Never mentioned on Mash!)
Of these only Cleveland and Voland made it to the second season as their characters. Cleveland's part as Ginger was smaller in season 2 before she totally disappeared. Adiarte was having big problems getting along with the cast so Ho John vanished by the end of numero uno.
John Orchard, a positively splendid actor, was Ugly John and returned later in the post-Burns as an Australian military man ( in real life Orchard was from England).
The actress who played Nurse Kelleye was also in season one as a semi-regular and she stayed on the show till the end. 10 other semi-regulars ( actually eleven if you count and actor playing a dentist) and by the show's end only two other semi-regulars ( One G. W. Bailey as Rizzo!). Mash had way more happening at first than later!

PS I checked. Jeff Maxwell was not in season 1 as Igor. He started in season 2. There was also barely regular Alan Arbus as Sidney Friedman in season 11. But he was more like a recurring guest star than regular. Not quite counting was the highly beautiful Rosalind Chao as she was introduced only in the deliberately last ep and TV movie.
