加トちゃんケンちゃん光子ちゃん(1987)

‘Shimura-ken’ was a comedy variety programme broadcast on the Fuji TV network every Thursday from 14 April 2010 to 28 March 2012, from 1:10 to 1:40 am (late Wednesday night, JST). It was Ken Shimura’s own show, produced by Izawa Office. ‘Shimuraya Desu’ has been revamped as ‘Shimura-ken’! Centred on Ken Shimura, the owner of ‘Ken-chan Ramen’—a small ramen shop in a working-class neighbourhood—and his wife Yuka, the programme features Ryuhei Ueshima, a lazy bloke who visits the shop every day, Katsuhiro Higo, the owner of ‘Poem’—a Showa-era-style coffee shop opposite Ken-chan Ramen— his wife Haruna Kondo, and Haruka Minowa, a part-timer at Poem with a vivid imagination. Set against the backdrop of these two shops—the sort you might find anywhere in a working-class neighbourhood—the show delivers heart-warming, laugh-out-loud sketches born from everyday life! With new regulars Yuri Morishita and Misaki Momose joining the line-up, fresh laughter is guaranteed!

A variety and comedy sketch program featuring The Drifters that was broadcast as a special program on Fuji Television and its affiliate stations during the Christmas season every December for seven years from 1982 to 1988.

Returning to its roots, Ken Shimura's classic comedy sketches will be revived, with each episode taking place in a different setting, such as a doctor's office, a park, a police box, an interrogation room, and a train. Of course, well-known characters such as Hen na Ojisan (Weird Uncle) and Grandma Hitomi will make appearances. In addition, the program will also include a location corner where the members will go out of the studio and visit all over Japan to meet local people and introduce their hometown pride!
