Chidori (千鳥, Chidori) is a Japanese comedy duo (kombi) consisting of Daigo (だいご) and Nobu (ノブ). They are employed by Yoshimoto Kogyo, a comedian and talent agency based in Tokyo. Both were graduates of the 21st generation from the Yoshimoto NSC Osaka Comedy School.

Daigo and Nobu were high school classmates and friends and formed the comedy duo in July of 2000, when both of them were 20 years old. The kombi's style emphasizes on the use of a mixed accent between the Osakan dialect and the Okayama dialect and is known by many as the "Manzai of My Way".[1]

Members[]

  • Daigo (だいご), real name Daigo Yamamoto (山本大悟) Born March 25, 1980 in Kitagishima, Kasaoka, Okayama. Plays the boke. He refers to himself with the pronoun "Washi (わし)", which is uncommon in modern day Japan. He was inspired by the baseball manga Touch by Mitsuru Adachi in high school, which prompted him to join the baseball club at the time.[2] Daigo is good friends with Ken Shimura, a veteran of the comedy industry.
  • Nobu (ノブ), real name Nobuyuki Hayakawa (早川信行) Born December 30, 1979 in Ibara, Okayama. Plays the tsukkomi. He once used the name Nobu Koike for a short period because Miwa Asao had mistakenly called him "Koike" in the TV programme London Hearts.[3] Nobu is known for his unique accent and tone when doing tsukkomi.
