Have you ever heard of Ken Tanaka? If he's faking it, he's got the impression down to a T.

His name is David Ury. The videos are well done anyway.

That was great! He completely has this Japanese Andy Kaufmann thing going on.

Tanaka's story has generated spirited online debate concerning this question: Is Ken Tanaka who he says he is or an engaging act performed by an actor named David Ury? In fact, Tanaka's virtual presence underscores a larger question about the Internet: How wide is the divide between artful put-on artist and deliberate hoaxer?


Not long after David Ury leaves the Royal/T, claiming another engagement, in walks Ken Tanaka. And there's no denying he and Ury look exactly alike -- as if they are the same person! But whereas Ury was wearing a cap and a T-shirt, Tanaka is hatless and outfitted in a red vintage bowling shirt with "Brad" embroidered in script on the front. And while Ury was blunt and direct, Tanaka is reflective and considered.

Take's response is fascinating - I suspect that, as always with Take, it reflects a good part of the 2-Chan zeitgeist. Why the anger, Take?

Yeah. Nobody in my home county of "Caspiar" was angry about Latka Gravas/Andy Kaufman.

:nihonjin: Ken Tanaka is more Japanese than any J-Pop...

:bowdown: Better yet is Ken Tanaka "rapping" in Japanese ---so much more fun...



However, I almost have a stroke when I see Ken Tanaka playing the parts like "Spooge, the junkie" on Breaking Bad (2 episodes, 2009).

Tanaka Ken has, methinks, definitively captured the kuuki here.
