Tsutomu Hamada later joined afterwards and the group was renamed "Sandwichman". In September 2000, Hamada withdrew, but the "Sandwichman" name did not change. The group was briefly renamed to "Viking" around the end of 2003.

Biography edit

He moved to Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture for six months and then moved to Chūō-ku, Niigata in Niigata Prefecture in 1980 and then grew up in Izumi-shi, Miyagi Prefecture (now Izumi-ku, Sendai) since 1984. This is due to his father's relocation.[3]

He had been working as an amateur with the name "Yuyoyuyon"[4] with another partner with the goal of belonging to the Yoshimoto Kogyo Sendai Office (Sendai Yoshimoto) founded in 1995, but before joining, he withdrew[5] (there was a report that he belonged to Sendai Yoshimoto, but it was misinformation.) He appeared in the amateur section of "Sendai Yuyaji Theater" as "Yuyayuyon".[3]

On 11 March 2011, the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred during the location of Sand no Bonyarinu TV at Kesennuma, which hit his partner Mikio Date and the programme staff. Although he took refuge at Azumi Mountain by the staff's instructions,[6] a fire broke out after the town was flooded by the tsunami, and it became in a state where they could not go down the mountain.[7] After that, they evacuated to a hotel lobby in Kesennuma.[8] The next morning he reported on his blog that they were safe,[9] and while he was headed for Tohoku Broadcasting, he was live on Hiroshi Kume Radio nandesukedo. After arriving at Tohoku Broadcasting, he went to his parents house and confirmed the safety of his relatives. It took him ten hours to return to Tokyo.[10] Furthermore, the comment column of Tomizawa's blog is open as a communication bulletin board of safety information.[11]

On 27 April 2011, his eldest son was born, while his second son was born on 9 June 2015.[12]

Personal life edit

His father is a branch manager of a major imported food company.[13]

His nicknames are "Tomizawa-kun" (富澤君), "Tommy" (トミー, Tomī), "Otomi" (おとみ), "Kanashiki Monster" (哀しきモンスター, Kanashiki Monsutā), and "Ēsāku" (エーサーク)}.

It is familiar that his right-eye is difficult to open by nature.[b] Even now his right eye has poor eyesight, and that the characters can not be read.

He is sociable and he does not drink alcohol at all, but contrary to Date whom goes to drinking parties often, he does not go out at all.

The influenced laughter is from Snakeman show and Vocabula Tengoku, and thinks that his conte is "blood" for man, and his manzai are "meat" and "bone".

He has a habit of lying immediately because he has hernia. Date says that he goes to bed as soon as he enters the dressing room and lies down when eating.[14]

In the neta, if he gets thrust, he tilts his neck or give a bow. He corrects himself even if he gets stuck in the blur of words mistakes.

He has favourite likes and dislikes in food, especially poor in seafood.

He e-mails with his wife all day at his loving wife's house. For some reason wife's name in mobile is not her nickname but her full name. In order to strike mobile phones on their neta, he also carries three chargers around.

It is a descent that can not be drunk at all,[15] and he had vomited with two cups of kahlua and milk. He is a smoker, but sucks Neosider at home.

Hobbies, preferences edit

He became fond of cats because he kept a cat at his parents' home.

He cannot eat seafood such as crab and mackerel, but he likes chum salmon and Pacific saury. He likes melon soda and mapo doufu, but he is not good at strawberries

Among his favourite video games are some in the Pro Evolution Soccer series. He will occasionally play with his friend, Sukima Switch's Shintarō Tokita, while watching soccer games. He also collects figures, such as Devilman, films, such as Junji Inagawa's kaidans, performers books, and extraterrestrial intelligence magazines.

In the past, he wore a football representative of Argentina and local Vegalta Sendai uniforms. He is a uniform collector of Argentina national football team and Argentine domestic clubs.

He is a fan of Sendai 89ers of the Bj league, and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, for which he has bought Rakuten home base season tickets.

He likes the Oakland Raiders of the NFL, and the Detroit Pistons of the NBA, and sometimes wear NBA uniforms in sales.[16]

His favourite fashion brand is Cune, where the rabbits are printed on jeans.

He likes wearing a sun visor and a sukajan. He rarely wears a necktie because it is constricting, and wears substitute tie printed clothes ; when wearing one in a conte, it is often loose. He wears wristbands because he sweats a lot.
