Nobuyuki Hanawa and Nobuyuki Tsuchiya of the comedy duo "Knights" will appear on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 pm on July 4th. Hanawa is the chairman of the Manzai Association, and Tsuchiya is the executive director.
In February, Hanawa-san decided to visit the filming locations of his favorite drama. It was night when he arrived at his first location, and while walking down a pitch black road, he fell into a gutter. He suffered serious injuries, including a facial fracture. The problem was that he was working as part of a comedy duo, and Hanawa-san's older brother, comedian Hanawa-san, had to suddenly step in as a pinch hitter and play as his partner. As expected of brothers, they were well received and managed to get through the filming without incident.
Katsuko Utsumi, a comedian who loved the Knights, also fell down the stairs when she was in her 80s, breaking her wrist and hitting her face hard. The two went to Katsuko's house and were surprised at how swollen her face was. They recalled being touched by Katsuko's spirit as a comedian, as she never complained and worked energetically.
