Fujiwara (owarai)

FUJIWARA is a Japanese comedy duo (kombi) consisting of Toshifumi Fujimoto (藤本 敏史) and Takayuki Haranishi (原西 孝幸). They are from Osaka and, like most other comedians from the Kansai region, are employed by Yoshimoto Kōgyō.

Members

• Toshifumi Fujimoto (藤本 敏史, Fujimoto Toshifumi) Born December 18, 1970 in Neyagawa, Osaka. Plays the tsukkomi. Also known as "Fujimon" (フジモン). Known for his large head, a running joke is to have someone say, "Is it just me or does this studio feel small?" to which he responds, "It's because my face is huge."
• Takayuki Haranishi (原西 孝幸, Haranishi Takayuki) Born March 5, 1971 in Neyagawa, Osaka. Plays the boke. His main shtick is delivering one-liner jokes, of which he claims to have 200. His gags often consist of puns and are usually accompanied by absurd gestures.
