Ike Nwala
He is one of the most successful foreign comedians in Japan.
He was born in 1986 in Manhattan, New York and raised in Seattle, Washington. he came to Japan in about 2005 to become a comedian.
Let’s watch a video to learn more about him.
Q: What does he think about Japanese people in regards to how they deal with people from other countries?
He says, ‘I don’t think Japanese people are the racist. I think they just don’t know.’
For example, Japanese people don’t know him and feel a bit scared of his appearance which is completely different from them!
Because of people like Ike Nwala who’s on TV and speaks a fluent Japanese, more young Japanese people get used to foreign people these days.
Each of us can feel more comfortable once we get to know each other to become good friends!
