Manzai

Recently in japan the Manzai has come in greatly. Everyone in their house watches Manzai through television. Manzai first developed in the Kansai area of Japan. In the Heian period, Manzai started in performing arts which celebrate the new year. Two people in pairs visited homes, said congratulations, and one person played the drum, while the other person danced to the drum. In the Edo period, many parts of japan developed their own Manzai which was not only dancing with a drum, but also had negotiation with funny remarks, such as Obari manzai and Yamato manzai. After that, the Manzai mixed with Niwaka, which is the impromptu play in the road or vaudeville theater and became the present Manzai. The main companies which the Manzai performers belong to is Yoshimoto kougyou and Shoutikugeinou.



I think the most famous Manzai performers is Yasushi Kiyoshi. They are known as Yasukiyo. One persons name is Yasushi Yokoyama. The other persons name is Kiyoshi Nishikawa. The most famous phrase is "okorude shikashi!". That's mean "I am angry!". The phrase was said by Yasushi Yokomaya.He died in 1996.1.21. Many fan of Yasukiyo sad about mournful news.In 1980,the Manzai was the boom. and Yasukiyo is the top of the manzai circles. Many peole like to see Yasukiyo manzai.
