About
Kazuya Kojima built a comedy career on deliberately botched introductions. Born in Tokyo in 1972, the Japanese comedian and actor performs as the boke (straight man) in the duo Unjash alongside Ken Watabe. His signature gag: getting his own name wrong on purpose—"Ooshima" instead of "Kojima"—then erupting with "I'm Kojima!". Cancer energy—loud, attention-seeking, committed to the bit.

Biography
Kazuya Kojima's entire comedy brand rests on a single premise: people constantly mispronounce his last name, and he loses it every time. Born July 16, 1972, in Hachiōji, Tokyo, Kojima performs as the boke in the comedy duo Unjash with partner Ken Watabe. While boke typically plays the dimwitted foil in Japanese comedy pairs, Kojima's role centers on reactive outrage—being called "Ooshima" or other names on purpose, then loudly insisting "I'm Kojima!" as the punchline. He can also perform kire gei (sharp comedy) and tsukkomi (the logical responder), but his reputation is built entirely on this one recurring gag. As a male Japanese actor and comedian, Kojima works in a tradition dating back decades where comedy duos divide roles strictly between boke and tsukkomi. His life-path number 33 (master number in numerology) suggests natural charisma and collaborative power—fitting for someone whose entire act depends on partnership with Watabe and audience recognition. Cancer (his zodiac sign) natives are known for emotional sensitivity and loud self-assertion, traits that fuel his exasperated "I'm Kojima!" catchphrase.
