The rainbow roll was invented in the early 1980s by a sushi chef in Los Angeles named Ichiro Mashita. Mashita was inspired by the colorful California roll, which was created a few years earlier. He wanted to create a roll that was even more visually appealing, so he added a variety of colorful ingredients, including mango, edamame, cucumber, carrot, and avocado. The rainbow roll quickly became a popular dish, and it is now a staple on sushi menus around the world.
