Jicho Kacho

Jicho Kacho

nihongo|Jichō Kachō|次長課長 is a Japanese comedy unit ("kombi") consisting of two nihongo|comedians|お笑い芸人|owarai geinin, nihongo|Jun'ichi Kōmoto|河本準一 and nihongo|Satoshi Inoue|井上聡. Sometimes also known as nihongo|Jikachō|次課長, they are one of the most popular owarai "kombi" coming from Yoshimoto Kōgyō in Tokyo. Their name literally means "Vice manager, Section manager", and is a reference to the titles of two visitors at the bar in which they were working part-time before they were discovered by Yoshimoto. They were originally a 3-man group with the name nihongo|"Jichō Kachō Shachō"|次長課長社長, or "Vice Manager, Section Manager, President", but after the third member of the group left, the name was reduced to its current version.

Kōmoto is the boke of the duo, and the much quieter Inoue is the tsukkomi. Both comedians are natives of Okayama. Inoue has a reputation among "owarai geinin" for being handsome, and he has scored high on Yoshimoto's "handsomest "geinin" ranking" for the last 5 years. Komoto is most famous for his strange faces and high-pitched character voices, although he is also a very talented singer, and is well respected by other "owarai geinin" for his skills. He is often heard squealing the line nihongo|"From me you get "no" tanmen!"|お前に食わせるタンメンはねぇ!|Omae ni kuwaseru tanmen wa nee!. In March 2003, Kōmoto married Naomi Shigemoto (former "Osaka Performance Doll" member), and they now have a son.

Kōmoto appeared in the NTV drama, 14 year-old Mother, playing the uncle of the 14 year-old pregnant girl.
