Ken Tanka’s Daily Life

Why does he talk like that??

screw borat, looks like Andy Kaufman’s `foreign man’ to me. old school.

if you ve been following this guys videos (as you obviously have) you have to admit some interest in it. i ve been erring on the side of it being fake, but im not 100% sure – i think thats what makes him so entertaining.
it also goes to show, foreigners in japan are likely to be annoyed when japanese are amazed when they can behave “normally” in society (speaking, mannerisms, habits) – but at the same time, many of us also have an unhealthy interest in discrediting the inchiki and pointing out how unjapanese he is.
if you flip the situation on its head, it would be so unremarkarble, so unblogable – for an asian to spend some time in a western country and then “fraudulently” claim to actually be a westerner.
btw. the choice of the name, “john smith” is really comical.
