Hitoshi Matsumoto is a Japanese comedian and one half of the comedy duo Downtown.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Matsumoto came from a relatively poor household, which he credits for giving him his great sense of humor. He meet his partner Matososhi Hamada' in elementary school, but it took a while and a cancelled job at a printing office before he took up Hamada's offer to join Yoshimoto Kogyo, one of Japan's major entertainment conglomerates that totally isn't run by the Yakuza. Organizational issues aside, Matusmoto and Hamada launched Downton in 1983.

Following ancient Manzai traditions, Matsumoto is the 'boke' to Hamada's 'tsukommi - that is, the bumbling idiot to the straight guy. A large part of Downtown's humor consequently derives from Hamada making sarcastic of flatout absurd observations about the world in general, for which Hamada will sagely whack him over the head.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Matsumoto fought in 8chanmania XX, where he was teamed up with his partner Masatoshi Hamada. Their attempt to give the audience a giggle fell short when Pipimi and Popuku of Pop Team Epic went radical on them.
