Biography

While working as both as a salesman and an impressionist, he felt that he prefer impressions more, and later retire from being a salseman to concentrate on his impressions. Kokubu originally doing impressions of the Kome Kome Club members, he gradually increased his repertoire. In about two and a half years after his debut at Kisara, he became a regular of Bakushō sokkuri monomane Kōhaku Uta Gassen Special.[2]
