Members

• Toshifumi Fujimoto (藤本 敏史) Born December 18, 1970 in Neyagawa, Osaka. Plays the tsukkomi. Also known as "Fujimon." Known for his large head, a running joke is to have someone say, "Is it just me or does this studio feel small?" to which he responds, "It's because my face is huge."

• Takayuki Haranishi (原西 孝幸) Born March 5, 1971 in Neyagawa, Osaka. Plays the boke. His main shtick is delivering one-liner jokes, of which he claims to have 200 of. His gags often consist of puns and are usually accompanied by absurd gestures.
