My Take
I have so much affection for Korokke, the guy who basically turned the Japanese art of monomane into a contortionist sport. Think about it: he named himself after a fried potato croquette, and somehow that's perfect, because there's nothing pretentious about him. He just wants you to laugh until you wheeze. Born in Kumamoto in 1960, he was past sixty by 2024 and still up there cranking his face into rubbery, impossible shapes with full-throttle energy that puts performers half his age to shame. What I love most is that the impressions never feel mean. There's real affection baked into every exaggeration, like he's celebrating the people he mimics rather than mocking them. He branched into voice acting and general TV work too, but at his core he's a lifer, an entertainer who just wants the living room warm.
