Put Makeup On Over Effudex

ken tanaka loves you

Post planned ... You say that long ago!

Some time ago, I happened by chance you see in the videos below. I looked at them and they made me laugh. Frankly I do not know if they may have the same effect on someone who has studied Japanese, it was not in Japan or do not know of Japanese. And I also wonder if the Japanese find them funny or however you might offend. Searching Youtube, I saw that there were a lot of videos of that guy, that Ken Tanaka ... a kind of incarnation of a character of Andy Kaufman. I've looked at someone ... Some were interesting, often amusing. In the first video , Ken Tanaka tells his story, and tells us that it is of American origin but was adopted as a child by a Japanese couple, so it's a Japanese in every respect except for its appearance. The aim of his videos, which take place between America and Japan, would be precisely the search for his real parents. I, who are notoriously Boccalone, of course at first there nononstante I thought the absurdity of the premise (indeed, perhaps because it was too absurd to be false) and I are romantically involved left by history. Moreover, the fake English accent with which Ken talks about is very similar to that of an average Japanese who speaks English. But then I discovered his true identity ... it is that David Ury, an American who moved to Japan, where he also worked in television. Once broken the spell, I must say that my interest has waned, as this transaction is surreal all in all pretty funny, although it is only a joke with some due to Kaufman. For

Anyway, here's his video response for all those who claim that Ken Tanaka is actually David Ury. :)
