This highly entertaining performer earns his money by giving dramatic reading of comic books (manga). The different voices he uses for all the characters really make the stories come alive, and he seems to have quite a few fans. You can see him most Sundays in Inokashira Park, near Kichijoji station, on the outskirts of Tokyo.
