#Gaki no tsukai silent library monkey trial

This prank has been pulled on Naoki Tanaka of the comedy duo Cocorico, a regular on Gaki no Tsukai. His act is so convincing, it has brought his victims to tears. In the past, he has violently attacked the victim, including kneeing him in the face, giving a headbutt, and pulling his hair. A common prank is to have Hamada pretend to lose his temper during a filming and become furious towards the unwitting victim. Downtown pulls numerous pranks on their colleagues on Gaki no Tsukai.

On an episode of Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!, Hamada was put on a mock trial (where Matsumoto jokingly demanded the death sentence) for his countless acts of physical abuse and shameless schadenfreude on the show over the years.

This fearsome side of his personality has been pointed out in the media on several occasions: There is a running joke or legend within the industry that says 'Whoever is whacked on the head by Hamada will become successful or ureteru.'īecause of his aggressive and seemingly remorseless behavior, he has been dubbed 'Hamada the Super Sadist' ( ドSの浜田, Do ESU no Hamada). He has a notoriously quick temper and is prone to snapping at others, including overzealous fans who bother him on the streets. Never one to hold his tongue, he is known for being blunt and tactless towards everybody, no matter how famous they may be. He laughs with a distinct, high-pitched cackle whenever he sees his colleagues in pain. Hamada is frequently seen whacking Matsumoto and other celebrities on their heads, whether it be with his hand, a paper fan, or whatever he is holding at the moment. In 1982, he and Matsumoto entered Yoshimoto Kōgyō, to become a comedy duo. Like Matsumoto, his family was very poor and lived in an old, run-down apartment building. He and Matsumoto did not become friends until junior high. There, he attended Ushio Elementary School and met Hitoshi Matsumoto. His family moved to Amagasaki, Hyōgo Prefecture before entering a kindergarten. Hamada was born near Daikokucho Station in Naniwa-ku, Osaka to Kengoro and Nobuko Hamada. Hamada is married to Natsumi Ogawa, with whom he has two children. Masatoshi Hamada ( 浜田雅功, real name: 濵田雅功, Hamada Masatoshi ) is a Japanese comedian best known as the tsukkomi half of the popular owarai duo Downtown alongside Hitoshi Matsumoto.
