岡村隆史 琴欧州と激突 ..
*Kotoōshū Katsunori (琴欧洲 勝紀)
(born February 19, 1983 as Kaloyan Stefanov
Mahlyanov, Bulgarian: Калоян
Стефанов Махлянов, in Veliko
Tarnovo, Bulgaria) is a professional sumo
wrestler or rikishi. He is currently ranked
as an ōzeki or 'champion', the
second-highest level in the sumo ranking
system behind only yokozuna. Popular with the
Japanese public because of his good looks, he
has been called the "David Beckham of
Sumo"[1] and the "Prince of Sumo," although
he expressed displeasure with the former
moniker. On May 24, 2008, Kotooshu made
history by becoming the first European sumo
wrestler to win an Emperor's Cup.
His name is derived from his place of origin
— koto, shared by all wrestlers at his
stable, and ōshū, meaning Europe. Following
the September 2006 tournament, he changed one
of the characters in his ring name (州
became 洲), although the pronunciation,
shū, is the same for both.
*Takashi Okamura (岡村隆史 Okamura
Takashi) is a Japanese comedian, born on July
3, 1970 in Osaka. He is the shorter and more
energetic half of the owarai duo Ninety-nine
also known as Nai Nai in Japan. He is the
"comic stooge" or boke of the group. His
nicknames range from "OkatakaLeader" to
"Okachan". His partner is Hiroyuki Yabe, or
"Yabecchi."
Okamura has consistently been a
large-audience draw on Japanese TV for his
wild antics, such as breakdancing naked while
wearing the cowl of anime/professional
wrestling hero Tiger Mask. At 156cm (the
tallest person in his family) he is a
striking contrast to the lankier Yabe.
They formed Ninety-nine in 1990 (when Okamura
dropped out of Ritsumeikan University), and
in 1993 won a New Talent Prize. Okamura cried
with joy when interviewed after receiving the
prize. The following year, Ninety-Nine hosted
their first on-air show "Ninety-Nine All
Night Nippon," which is still aired today.
Their success continued to grow with their
program "Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!" In 1999,
Okamura fell, breaking his right shoulder. He
has also appeared in the Japanese stage
adaptation of The Lion King.
