Eiko Kano

Eiko Kano (狩野 英孝, Kanō Eikō) is a Japanese comedian, singer, songwriter, and television personality. He is known for his flamboyant performances, his self-aggrandizing character, and his catchphrases like "Eiko-chan!" and "Ramen, tsukemen, ore ikemen!" (Ramen, tsukemen, I'm a good-looking guy!).

Born February 22, 1982, in Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, Kano gained popularity in the late 2000s appearing on various variety shows. His comedic style often revolves around performing original songs with melodramatic flair, punctuated by his signature catchphrases. He often portrays a conceited and arrogant persona, which forms the basis of much of his humor.

Beyond his comedy career, Kano has released several singles and albums. While his music is generally considered comedic, he also demonstrates a genuine passion for music and songwriting. He has faced both success and controversy throughout his career, but remains a recognizable figure in Japanese entertainment.

Kano's influence extends to popular culture, with his catchphrases and mannerisms frequently parodied and referenced in other media.
