Suidobashi Hakase of Takeshi Gundan revealed that the entertainer Beat Takeshi (64) has got a mobile phone for the first time in his life of 60 years and he is using it on and on.

It is known that Beat Takeshi has many talents such as piano, tap dance, photographer and picture; above all, he is called as the world-famous Kitano Takeshi as a film director, as you know. However, surprisingly, Takeshi had never had a mobile phone.

In the TV program “Downtown DX” on June 9, Suidobashi Hakase of comedy duo “Asakusa Kid” who belongs to Office Kitano told the details.

Suidobashi Hakase so respects his master Takeshi that he named his son as “Takeshi” and Beat Takeshi is kind to him, too. So he knows about Takeshi well.

Suidobashi Hakase told that Takeshi, who had never had a mobile phone because he had thought it was troublesome, recently has got a mobile phone at last. And that mobile phone is not the kind like iPhone, but the Rakuraku Phone (Easy Phone) which has large letters on the display.

It’s a problem that Takeshi is getting used to use his mobile phone and keeps calling or sending emails for fun. “He invites me in a meal more than three times in a week,” Suidobashi Hakase told with a perplexed face, thinking three times in a week are too frequent.

What is worse is PC: Recently Takeshi has learned how to use email but he sent an email for “his elder sister” by “Send All”; Suidobashi Hakase was so puzzled.

By the way, also Tamori got a mobile phone just a few years ago; he said even now he turns it off except when he calls to someone. Akashiya Sanma seems to uses his mobile phone usually because he often talks about recorded messages in his phone. It is unexpected that the two of the BIG 3 of comedians had never needed mobile phones until recently.
