Masahiro Matsuoka

Matsuoka is that rare idol-group drummer who genuinely drums. Born in Sapporo, he sat behind the kit in Tokio for decades, took a lead role in Godzilla: Final Wars, then spent years in an apron playing a cross-dressing housekeeper in a long-running comedy. I like performers with that range: dead serious about the craft, shameless about the joke.
