Korokke debuted in August 1980 on NTV’s Owarai Star Tanjo (A Comedy Star Is Born). In addition to his frequent appearances on TV, radio and other media, Korokke regularly gives concerts around the country as well as headlines shows at major theaters, such as the Meiji-za in Tokyo. He has a repertoire of more than 300 impressions and continually works to break new ground as an entertainer, such as by incorporating his impressions together with robotic movement or hip-hop dancing. He has also found great success performing overseas, including in Las Vegas and all over America, as well as in China, Korea and Australia. He is the recipient of such well-known awards as the Asakusa Entertainment Award New Entertainer Award; he is taking on more and more acting roles in movies and television; and he is increasingly working as a voice actor in anime and overseas dramas. He received the 2014 Commissioner for Cultural Affairs Award and, in February 2016, while being presented with the Japan Entertainment Award, was described as, “being someone whose name is synonymous with impressionist entertainment and whose distinctive performance style, which exaggerates a single, notable characteristic of his subject, is on the level of Picasso.”
