History

About Downtown

 Downtown (ダウンタウン) is a Japanese comedy duo (kombi) from Amagasaki, Hyōgo consisting of Hitoshi Matsumoto (松本 人志) and Masatoshi Hamada (浜田 雅功). Formed in 1983, they are one of the most influential and prolific kombi in Japan today.^[1] They are best known for their stand-up acts, hosting numerous Japanese variety shows (such as Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! and Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ) and their sarcastic, short-tempered stage personas.
As a result of their massive popularity and the relative domination of their employer, Yoshimoto Kōgyō, the Kansai dialect (in which both performers usually speak) has come to be associated with Japanese comedy (owarai) as a whole.
