Congratulations on joining the Papapajama Manzai Theater!

Help liven up the Chomorrow Parade!

"Papapajama," a young comedian who always helps out with our workshops,

The joy of that moment when Kakeru Sho advanced through the Challenge Battle EAST and secured a spot on the Manzai Theater roster

Sharing with CANVAS members in Takeshiba.

The walls of CANVAS are lined with autographs from young comedians—autographs that are still a bit too inexperienced to really be called "autographs."

I sincerely wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
