A few days ago a famous older Japanese comedian called Shimura Ken was diagnosed with Corona virus
My wife just told me that Japanese sites are reporting he has passed away.
This is a REALLY big star in Japan - it would be similar to a Bob Hope or Robin Williams passing here in the US.
His characters were often lecherous old men, old women who beat on people, stupid people in power, etc....ton of slapstick with a lot of rude jokes and costumes. I wouldn’t be suprised if he was involved with the Hollywood trash...I’d be more surprised if he wasn’t.
