Wasshoi Tonegawa
Hi! I’m Wasshoi Tonegawa, a festival comedian–MC. I hype the crowd without pushing them—don’t push, don’t run, don’t split, but let the spirit rise. I coordinate with organizers, then share three viewing options (families / photographers / low-crowd) and clear etiquette. I don’t touch sacred objects or floats, and I follow permit–distance–no-flash for filming. Abroad, I respect local faiths and rules and can switch to English announcements. Comedy is the spice; useful info is the main dish. Keep the heat, keep it safe. Wasshoi—for real!
