Kikuō Hayashiya

Kikuō Hayashiya (Japanese: 林家 木久扇, Hepburn: Hayashiya Kikuō, born October 19, 1937) is a Japanese rakugo performer and a featured member of the long-running television comedy show Shōten. His real name is Hiroshi Toyota (豊田 洋, Toyota Hiroshi), although he is most widely known by his previous comedian name Kikuzō Hayashiya (林家 木久蔵), a name he was the first to assume. The new Kikuzō Hayashiya is his son, the former Kikuo Hayashiya (林家 きくお, Hayashiya Kikuo). [2] On Shōten he always wears a yellow kimono. He is known for making commonplace jokes and usually "plays the fool".

Kikuzō Ramen

Kikuō has a chain of noodle shops named after him called "Kikuzō Ramen." On Shōten, he often advertises Kikuzō Ramen, but other members joke about it being very flavorless.
