Hamada reveals his rendition of Super Mario In a March 2007 episode of Gaki no Tsukai, when asked what he would save first if his house caught on fire, his reply was "the dog." In the Hotel Man Batsu game special, he was referred to as "Piko-chan".Īlthough he has always disliked animals, he recently became attached to the family dog. This is because the kansai dialect is regarded as improper in Japanese society. He is often spotted in public with his family, and every New Year's, they vacation in Hawaii.īeing from Osaka, he speaks in the kansai dialect however, he uses a standard dialect when talking to his children. The Slowking on this card was illustrated by Hamada himself.Ĭontrary to his intimidating persona, Hamada is proper and well-mannered off screen, and has been praised by Matsumoto for being a devoted father. This Slowking's special attack was "to hit" (どつく, dotsuku ?). A limited edition Pokémon card called "Hama-chan's Slowking" (ハマちゃんのヤドキング, Hama-chan no Yadokingu ?) was released to promote the movie.

On a 2006 episode of LINCOLN, Matsumoto offered a "gift" to the younger comedians on the show: he had Hamada restrained upright and gave them the option of throwing a pie in his face or kissing him on the lips, to help them "overcome fear." The younger comedians were afraid of both options.This prank has been pulled on Naoki Tanaka of the comedy duo Cocorico, a regular on Gaki no Tsukai.Tanaka testified during the mock trial, "I cried on someone's chest for the first time in my life." In the past, he has violently attacked the victim, including kneeing him in the face, giving a headbutt, and pulling his hair His act is so convincing, it has brought his victims to tears. A common prank is to have Hamada pretend to lose his temper during a filming and become furious towards the unwitting victim. Downtown pulls numerous pranks on their colleagues on Gaki no Tsukai.
