Tokyo Shock Boys

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tokyo Shock Boys (電撃ネットワーク; Dengeki Network) is a Japanese group of four men who perform dangerous and crude stunts.

The group was formed in Tokyo in 1990. The Tokyo Shock Boys have a huge cult following in Japan and have appeared in many other locales, such as Australia, Canada, and Scotland in the United Kingdom.

In 2006 they made appearances in Japanorama, Adam & Joe go Tokyo and the Dirty Sanchez movie. However, their shows are viewed as having more 'magic' stunts rather than painful ones. This was proven in Dirty Sanchez: The Movie as the Tokyo Shock Boys refused to do a show with Dirty Sanchez due to the fact they viewed their stunts to be too extreme.

The members of the group are:

Gyuzo (ギュウゾウ Gyūzō)
Danna Koyanagi (ダンナ小柳 Danna Koyanagi) a.k.a. "Buns of Steel"
Sangojugo (三五十五 Sangojūgo)
Nanbu Torata (南部虎弾 Nanbu Torata)

On volume 2 of the manga Yu-Gi-Oh!, when asked to slide one's foot inside a shoe with a scorpion, Yugi, Jonouchi, and Honda respond, "Who do you think we are, the Tokyo Shock Boys?"

They have since become a huge success.
