漫才師 (manzai-shi) are Japanese comedians who perform a style of stand-up comedy known as 漫才 (manzai). This form of comedy typically involves a duo, where one person plays the "boke," who makes silly or absurd statements, and the other plays the "tsukkomi," who corrects or reacts to the boke's antics. Their interactions often rely on wordplay, puns, and quick exchanges, creating a humorous dialogue. Manzai has its roots in the Osaka region and has evolved over the years, becoming a popular form of entertainment in Japan. Many漫才師 perform on television, in theaters, and during festivals, showcasing their comedic skills to a wide audience. The art of manzai emphasizes timing, delivery, and the chemistry between the performers.
