Having lived in Japan for 6 years, I perfectly understand Ken Tanaka’s humor, and it has given me some of the best laughs I’ve had in years!

[...] There’s been a lot of controversy recently over the strong resemblance of American-born Japanese YouTuber Ken Tanaka (helpmefindmyparents) and an actor on IMDB named David Ury.

This confirms it: Ken Tanaka is a fake. He is descending into farce.

I love Ken Tanaka, but I am afraid if someone did that to a native Japanese, she would think something is seriously wrong with him.
I know Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka, who are looking for the their adopted son. They are very worried about him because, well, he sometimes acts funny. Maybe Ken Tanaka should meet them before they find out their biological parents.
BTW, I think “Doumo” and “maa, maa” are very convenient words useful in almost every context.
