Frozen Yoshio Kojima

The popularity of comedian Yoshio Kojima (seen above in slow motion) will probably be fading away soon, but that hasn’t stopped the folks at the Sapporo Ice Festival from building statues of him. Here’s a photo sent to us by Ryan Obrock:

According to Ryan, one statue wasn’t enough:

There were surprisingly multiples of this sculpture but I didn’t want to document them all. Now I’m regretting it.

I find nothing funny about him.. well to be honest I saw him only twice, in iromonea and shim zoo. If I were a parent in Japan I would definitely ban my kids from watching such shows, which basically my mom did (I couldn’t watch most of ‘variety’ shows whenever my parents were home).
anyway.. I just can’t stop thinking why some of the funniest comedians aren’t featured but him. (like ucchan.. I’m a big fan of him)

Yoshio who?

I must admit to finding him funny, though. On the other hand, Fujisaki Market are irritating in the extreme.

Hard Gay went by fast. Kojima will be even faster. Of course unless he changes his image a little and starts appearing in variety shows dressed normally so people won’t automatically associate him with a speedo. If he can make that switch from a speedo lunatic to a regular gei-nin he might be around for longer than we think.

It’s funny that his decision to perform in a (tiny) swimsuit makes those slow-motion videos a fascinating look at the human body in motion. You can see the various muscles moving together…it’s quite amazing.
