Takeshi Tomizawa (富澤 たけし, 富澤 岳史, Tomizawa Takeshi, born 30 April 1974) is a Japanese comedian and actor. He performs boke in the

He was born on 1974 in

Tokyo. He belongs to Grape Company.[1]
Education
Tomizawa graduated from Sendai City Minamikodai Junior High School and Sendai Commercial High School.[2] "Oyafukō" was formed in September 1998 with classmate Mikio Date of the rugby club. Tsutomu Hamada later joined afterwards and the group was renamed "Sandwichman". In September 2000, Hamada withdrew, but the "Sandwichman" name did not change. The group was briefly renamed to "Viking" around the end of 2003.
He had been working as an amateur with the name "Yuyoyuyon"[4] with another partner with the goal of belonging to the
Yoshimoto Kogyo Sendai Office (Sendai Yoshimoto) founded in 1995, but before joining, he withdrew[5] (there was a report that he belonged to Sendai Yoshimoto, but it was misinformation.) He appeared in the amateur section of "Sendai Yuyaji Theater" as "Yuyayuyon".[3]
On 11 March 2011, the
Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred during the location of Sand no Bonyarinu TV at
Kesennuma, which hit his partner Mikio Date and the programme staff. Although he took refuge at Azumi Mountain by the staff's instructions,[6] a fire broke out after the town was flooded by the tsunami, and it became in a state where they could not go down the mountain.[7] After that, they evacuated to a hotel lobby in Kesennuma.[8] The next morning he reported on his blog that they were safe,[9] and while he was headed for Tohoku Broadcasting, he was live on Hiroshi Kume Radio nandesukedo. After arriving at Tohoku Broadcasting, he went to his parents house and confirmed the safety of his relatives. It took him ten hours to return to Tokyo.[10] Furthermore, the comment column of Tomizawa's blog is open as a communication bulletin board of safety information.[11]
On 27 April 2011, his eldest son was born, while his second son was born on 9 June 2015.[12]
Personal life
His father is a branch manager of a major imported food company.[13]
His
nicknames are "Tomizawa-kun" (富澤君), "Tommy" (トミー, Tomī), "Otomi" (おとみ), "Kanashiki Monster" (哀しきモンスター, Kanashiki Monsutā), and "Ēsāku" (エーサーク)}.
It is familiar that his right-eye is difficult to open by nature.[b] Even now his right eye has poor eyesight, and that the characters can not be read.
He is sociable and he does not drink alcohol at all, but contrary to Date whom goes to drinking parties often, he does not go out at all.
The influenced laughter is from Snakeman show and Vocabula Tengoku, and thinks that his conte is "blood" for man, and his manzai are "meat" and "bone".
He has a habit of lying immediately because he has hernia. Date says that he goes to bed as soon as he enters the dressing room and lies down when eating.[14]
In the neta, if he gets thrust, he tilts his neck or give a bow. He corrects himself even if he gets stuck in the blur of words mistakes.
He has favourite likes and dislikes in food, especially poor in seafood.
He e-mails with his wife all day at his loving wife's house. For some reason wife's name in mobile is not her nickname but her full name. In order to strike mobile phones on their neta, he also carries three chargers around.
It is a descent that can not be drunk at all,[15] and he had vomited with two cups of kahlua and milk. He is a
smoker, but sucks Neosider at home.
Hobbies, preferences
He became fond of
cats because he kept a cat at his parents' home.
In the past, he wore a
football representative of Argentina and local
Vegalta Sendai uniforms. He is a uniform collector of Argentina national football team and Argentine domestic clubs.
His favourite fashion brand is Cune, where the
rabbits are printed on jeans.
He likes wearing a sun visor and a sukajan. He rarely wears a
necktie because it is constricting, and wears substitute tie printed clothes ; when wearing one in a conte, it is often loose. He wears wristbands because he sweats a lot.
Episodes
Tomizawa is doing almost the neta making. His partner Date also said that he thought that Tomizawa is "really a genius, even if he quits being an entertainer, he can still eat regularly as a writer." Also,
Terumoto Goto of
Football Hour, who formed a combination with Tomizawa at Dream Match 2011 was acclaimed that Tomizawa made the story "perfect". In fact the Tomizawa×Goto pair has won the best couple award of that year.
In sales, he actively speak while inserting tsukkomi, and communicates with the audience.
In programme appearances he is good at reaction art like manga.
Date, says that being spoiled by being mischievous is everyday, even if he does a psychical experience (witnessing Date), he does "not care at all." It seems there is no inspiration in himself and the spirit can not be seen.
He has a metallic allergy, if he wears metal accessories he will get rough skin.
He is considerably more fertile around the second half of 2008.
He dislikes being told that to "try hard" or "hang in there".
He can make a vocal cord copy of the Japanese version of
Mickey Mouse. But because his voice is so small, Date says that he does not hear him.
When he took a certification photo, he created "a smile that is angry at the other step."
His high school graduation album contains photographs that he glared at holding a bat with regent hair.
Since co-starring in the film Giniro no Ame, he became friends with
Yuko Oshima (
AKB48).[17]
He began to grow chin beards from around 2012.
He frequently said that children are not good. From the birth of his son, it is somewhat uncomfortable for a child until his son's age, but he says he does not know how to contact a child older than his son as ever.
