Kikuo Hayashiya

Kikuō Hayashiya is a Japanese rakugo performer and a featured member of the long-running television comedy show Shōten. His real name is Hiroshi Toyota, although he is most widely known by his previous comedian name Kikuzō Hayashiya, a name he was the first to assume. The new Kikuzō Hayashiya is his son, the former Kikuo Hayashiya. On Shōten he always wears a yellow kimono. He is known for making commonplace jokes and usually "plays the fool".
