Biography
Naoki Tanaka leads the Japanese comedy duo Cocorico as the boke (comic foil), paired with his partner Shozo Endo. Born on 26 April 1971 in Japan, he works as a comedian, actor, and television presenter. His breakthrough came through consistent appearances on the variety show Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!, which he and Endo have worked on since 1997. Beyond comedy sketches and film roles, Tanaka built a parallel reputation for animal advocacy—particularly his passion for sea creatures. On 24 June 2018, he was appointed Marine Stewardship Council ambassador for Japan, cementing his public profile beyond entertainment. As a Taurus born in late April, Tanaka embodies the sign's reputation for loyalty and steadiness; his 20+ year partnership with Endo and long tenure on a single show reflect that grounded commitment. Comedians perform live, record sketches, and appear across television and film formats to entertain audiences through humor and character work. Japanese entertainment culture values long-term ensemble participation, and Tanaka's sustained presence on Gaki no Tsukai reflects that tradition.
