The Tokyo Shock Boys (東京ショックボーイズ Tōkyō Shokku Bōizu), or Dengeki Network (電撃ネットワーク Dengeki Nettowāku), 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 countries, such as Australia, Canada, Germany and Scotland.
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 because they viewed their stunts to be too extreme.
The members of the group are:
- Torata Nanbu (南部虎弾 Nanbu Torata, also written as Torata Nambu)
- Sangojyugo (三五十五 Sangojyugo)
- Gyuzo (ギュウゾウ Gyūzō)
- Danna Koyanagi (ダンナ小柳)
