Profile

Together with his screen partner, Shinya Arino, Hamaguchi is part of the comic duo, Yoiko.

He is well known for his fishing skills learned while doing the variety show Ikinari Ougon Densetsu jp:いきなり!黄金伝説. Even though he has seasickness, he persevered and managed to catch all the special fishes in the region required in the show. And whenever he was about to eat an item of seafood, he would always look up and thank God for giving him food to sustain his strength. One of his favorite tag lines is "Tottadō!" when he finally attains something.
