Minoru Torihada (鳥肌実 Torihada Minoru) is a male Japanese comedian who claims to come from Sakhalin. His assumed surname, Torihada means "goosebumps" ("tori" meaning "bird" or class Aves, "hada" meaning "skin" or a soft outer covering of a vertebrate). He has an Internet channel called "Torijajiira Hōsō" (トリジャジーラ放送, or Torijazeera Broadcast), a parody of Al Jazeera.

Biography

The central concept of his act is that Torihada claims to be an extreme right-winger and a supporter of imperialism and militarism.[1] According to essayist Mike Rogers writing in 2005, he was "the first Japanese comedian to venture into taboo subjects like the Imperial Family and make a mockery of Imperial Japan."[2]
