Darren Barnet is an American actor. He is known for his role as Paxton Hall-Yoshida.
Darren’s paternal grandfather was jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Charlie Barnet (born Charles Daly Barnet, the son of Willard Raymond Barnet and Charline Daly). Charlie was born in New York. Willard was the son of William Dale Barnet, whose parents were Scottish, and of Elizabeth Ellen Huff. Charline was the daughter of Charles Frederick Daly, whose parents were Irish, and of Edith Belle Clark.
Darren’s paternal grandmother was singer Harriet Clark (born Harriet M. Umbach, the daughter of Harry Victor Umbach and Mae Muller). Harry was the son of Julius Umbach, who was German, and of Elizabeth Scheel, whose parents were German.
Darren’s maternal grandfather was Frederick John Borkman (the son of Victor George Borkman and Austia Mildred Davis). Frederick was born in Ohio. Victor was the son of Fred Borkman and Mary Adolphson, who were Swedish. Austia was the daughter of John Davis and Lizzie Carter.
Darren’s maternal grandmother was named Toshi Takeda. Toshi was born in Osaka, Japan. She came to the U.S. in 1953.

Likely his grandfather:

His obituary only includes his sister as a survivor.
The first of the two links is definitely his grandfather if this is to be believed (he is mentioned in the bottom as Toshi’s husband):

So the question would then be just if they are of the same person or not. Apart from the name and birth place, they both lived in Ohio. I don’t think there were many Frederick Borkmans there.
It can’t be the same man if the one you’re looking for was born in Ohio.
One tree has these as his parents:

His grandfather lived in Ohio but wasn’t (necessarily) born there. The man on the census was born in Pennsylvania and lived in Ohio, which is consistent with the death record of his grandfather.
