Not formally, but his was a fairly familiar presence around Senna and parts of Nanisivik (the Southern Water Tribe capital city) as a boy; before the Great Interruption he was usually there for a week or two (not contiguous) per year, long enough and often enough that Korra's neighbors got to know him. That's where he knows Karana from (as seen in the changing room scene in Past Is Prologue).
