Croquette and his friends
Imitation Show
When it was held last year, the hilarious "Korokke and his Fun Friends Impersonation Show" sent laughter through the audience.
After the show, many people expressed their desire for a repeat performance, and it has now been decided that Korokke will return to the Yokohama stage with new members.
Korokke has been active as an impersonator since the 1980s and was known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Imitation" along with Akira Shimizu, Busy Four, and Kanichi Kurita at the "Imitation King Competition."
Korokke, who continues to present new impersonations while also working to train the next generation of performers, will be taking to the stage with his friends.
Cast: Croquette, Thank You Yazawa, Yumi Sato, Nisekin

Croquette Profile
He made his debut on NTV's "Owarai Star Tanjo" in August 1980. While appearing on TV and radio, he regularly performs in impersonation concerts around the country and as the head of a troupe at major theaters such as the Meijiza in Tokyo, the Misonoza in Nagoya, the Shin Kabukiza in Osaka, and the Hakataza in Fukuoka.
His current impersonation repertoire consists of over 300 different impersonations, and he is constantly breaking new ground as an entertainer by performing robot versions, fusing them with hip hop dance, incorporating impersonations into rakugo (rakugo storytelling) called "Monomane Gakugo," and even collaborating with orchestras.
In June 2018, he made his film debut in "Yuzuriha," under his real name, Hiroshi Takigawa.
In recognition of his many years of contributions to the promotion of arts and culture as an impersonator, he was awarded the Commissioner's Award from the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2014.
In February 2016, he was awarded the Japan Entertainment Award for "becoming synonymous with impersonation talent, and his unique performance, which distorts unique features, has reached the realm of Picasso."
