The Knights are a duo consisting of Nobuyuki Hanawa, chairman of the Manzai Association, and Nobuyuki Tsuchiya, executive director. In February, Hanawa fell into a gutter and suffered serious injuries, including a facial fracture. Hanawa's older brother, comedian Hanawa, stepped in as a pinch hitter and played as the duo's partner, and the duo was apparently very well received.
