Talent Koichi Ikura, also known as "Ikura-chan," will appear on the variety show "Ogiyahagi's Car History NO CAR, NO LIFE!" (BS Nippon TV, Saturday 9pm), which will air on March 7th.
Ikura-chan is known among car enthusiasts as the biggest American car fan in the entertainment industry, and has apparently driven over 300 American cars to date.
On the show, Ikura-chan's American car collection is featured one after another. The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is the car that inspired her to embark on the American car journey, and she talks about how she "was frustrated" with it.
The Ford Model B is a rare classic car that appeared in the 1930s. Ikura-chan has apparently customized the car's height and roof, and when he reveals its current manufacturing price, everyone gasps in surprise. He also shows off a station wagon from about a century ago, boasting that "a family of four could live in it." He also reveals a surprising story about its fuel economy.
