Daisuke Muramoto (39) has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years. In 2013, he became the champion in one of the most prestigious comedy contests in Japan, rising to the top from a field of 1855 contestants. At the time he was flooded with offers, appearing on TV almost every day. However, because he repeatedly criticized politicians and made remarks about nuclear power plants, minority groups such as Korean Japanese aka Zainichi, or Korean comfort women, and others ostracized from society - topics that are regarded as taboos in the Japanese entertainment industry - within 7 years, Daisuke’s appearance on TV plummeted to zero. In Japan, where harmony is highly valued, those who rock the boat are eliminated from society. In other words, Daisuke became regarded as a “troublemaker” by the entertainment industry. In spite of that, Daisuke refuses to change his style of comedy, because his goal is to “change the world with humor” by shedding light on the things that people choose not to see or touch upon. Next year Daisuke will head to America, the center of stand-up comedy, in order to brush-up his skills and to transform Japan one day with the power of comedy.
