12 Celebrities Who Exploded in Rage on TV and Shocked Viewers [※Prank Disasters]
#Text: [Music] Hello everyone. The entertainment industry has many incidents, but one that particularly attracts attention is when celebrities lose their temper on live TV. Though they usually maintain a smiling demeanor, their moments of emotional outbursts leave a strong impression on viewers. This time, I would like to spotlight those celebrities who lost their cool on TV.
1. Makoto Ohtake
Makoto Ohtake is a representative Japanese comedian, actor, and radio personality who began his activities around 1977. In 1979, he formed the comedy group City Boys with Kitaro and Sasshi, gaining popularity with their unique comedy style. He is affectionately called the “Japanese Richard Gere” by his juniors in the industry, and has supported talents like Kobayashi Hideo. He is known for programs like TV Asahi’s Itazura Daimaen, Fuji TV’s Yuyake Nyannyan, and Radio Bunka Broadcasting’s Makoto Ohtake Golden Radio. On March 3, 1988, during the broadcast of the Itazura Daimaen program on Nippon TV, a heated argument broke out between Ohtake and Mami Yamase, resulting in Ohtake physically assaulting Yamase by tearing off her clothes. This infamous incident led to Ohtake being banned from appearing on Nippon TV for over 20 years, and the two were prohibited from co-starring. The trigger was Ohtake’s teasing of Yamase, saying “You asked a question, didn’t you?” This provoked Yamase, who kicked Ohtake, leading him to push her down and tear off her shorts, a public assault that caused a major uproar. Even over 20 years later, Ohtake remained banned from Nippon TV programs, and the two avoided co-starring.
2. Beat Takeshi
Beat Takeshi formed the comedy duo 2-Beats in 1972 and made their debut as a manzai act. They gained immense popularity in the 1980s manzai boom. In 1989, Takeshi made his directorial debut with the film Violent Viola, known for its sparse dialogue and emphasis on visual storytelling. Takeshi’s works often explore social themes with cynical humor, and he has been active in various fields including acting, directing, and screenwriting, accumulating numerous awards for his films. Many people also strongly associate him with the TV series Outrage and Beat Takeshi’s TV Tackle. Takeshi is famous for having exploded in rage at Masatoshi Hamada on several occasions. In 2004, when Hamada appeared on Takeshi’s TV program and said “I’m Beat, Beat Takeshi,” Takeshi became furious, as Hamada’s “swordsman” character was meant as a joke, but Takeshi did not accept it. On another occasion, when Hamada made jokes about Takeshi’s family and daughter, Takeshi also flew into a rage. Peko-pa even testified that Takeshi had the same intense look in his eyes as in the Outrage films when he was angry at Hamada. There was also an incident where Takeshi almost threw a chair at Hamada, demonstrating the severity of his anger. Hamada himself has spoken about the terrifying experience of being on the receiving end of Takeshi’s wrath.
3. Shinsuke Shimada
Shinsuke Shimada was born on March 24, 1956 and formed the manzai duo Shimada Shinsuke-Matsumoto Ryusuke in 1976, debuting in Kyoto the following year. Known for their “tsuppari manzai” (aggressive manzai) style, they gained popularity. Shimada also worked as a host, prioritizing ratings and getting involved in program planning and production. However, in 2011, his involvement with organized crime figures was revealed, leading him to retire from the entertainment industry. He was the host of programs like Quiz Hexagon and Gyōretsu no Dekiru Hōritsu Sōdanjo. Shimada’s outburst on the Fuji TV variety show All-Star Thanksgiving in 2009 is well-known. The trigger was that the members of the comedy group Tokyo03 had failed to greet Shimada in his dressing room before the show started, which greatly upset him. During the recording, Shimada angrily yelled at the Tokyo03 members, even physically grabbing one of them by the collar. Footage of the incident was partially captured and leaked online, making it widely known. While Tokyo03 apologized directly to Shimada, the incident continued to be a topic of discussion both within and outside the industry, with the event being parodied in other variety programs.
4. Akira Nishino
Akira Nishino is a singer and actor born on December 14, 1948 in Oita Prefecture. He debuted with the catchphrase “The Knight of Sōny Enka” and won the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist with his debut song “Mō Koi na no ka.” He has appeared on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen six times and has also been active as an actor. Nishino was often seen getting genuinely angry in the Fuji TV variety show Tunnels: Everyone’s Okage Deshita. For example, on the June 27th episode, when Nishino was repeatedly pushed into a trap, causing his clothes to get dirty, he reacted by throwing what seemed to be a towel in a fit of rage. On another occasion, when he was told “Shut up, Nishino” in the “Gomen nasai” segment, Nishino also became visibly enraged. These scenes did not appear to be scripted performances, but genuine outbursts of anger from Nishino. Other guests on the show, such as Kiyoshi Nishikawa and Sugichan, have also had moments where they became disgruntled during the prank segments.
5. Sho Aikawa
Sho Aikawa was born on May 24, 1961 and made his debut as a member of the group One Feather in 1984. He gained attention for his distinctive high-pitched voice and made his acting debut in the film This Throbbing Feeling, subsequently taking on many yakuza-type roles. Aikawa’s outburst on the March 19, 2016 broadcast of the program Mechamecha Ikiteru tte 99% Okamura Takashi Daro Dokkiri is well-known. In the program’s prank, Aikawa’s face and clothes were covered in cream, which angered him, leading him to yell “Cut it out!” and nearly attack Okamura Takashi and the others with a signboard. Aikawa later reflected on the incident, saying he was “incredibly angry” at the time, as the soiled jacket and watch were his own personal belongings. Okamura also apologized, saying he was shocked that Aikawa was still so angry after all these years.
6. Koji Hashi
Koji Hashi was born on March 28, 1969 and made his acting debut in the 1988 film Capital High Speed Trial. He is known for roles depicting tough, experienced characters, drawing from his own background. His main TV drama appearances include Rakugaki and Mama Haha Mug, and he has also starred in numerous V-Cinema series. Hashi’s outburst during a Fuji TV prank is particularly memorable. In the prank, Hashi was mistaken for a shoplifter, which led to him strongly protesting and almost resorting to violence against the fake police officers. Hashi insisted he had seen the person taking the pudding, and told the “officers” to be more careful with their words. The situation escalated to the point where Hashi was about to attack, but the staff quickly intervened, revealing it was just a prank. However, even after being told, Hashi still had an unsatisfied, disgruntled expression on his face. The incident was criticized, with other producers saying that framing someone as a criminal was absolutely unacceptable. Viewers and related parties largely agreed that Hashi’s reaction was completely understandable, and that anyone in that situation would have reacted similarly.
7. Girolamo
Girolamo is an Italian-born TV personality and essayist. Born into a family of architects, he studied at the University of Naples Architecture and was involved in the restoration of historical buildings. He has lived in Japan since 1988 and gained recognition after appearing on NHK Educational TV’s Italian language program. In 2006, he was awarded the Cavaliere dell’Ordine della Stella d’Italia (Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy) by the Italian government, and in 2014 he set the Guinness World Record for the most fashion magazine covers by a male model. Girolamo is known for his appearances on the Fuji TV program Waratte Ii Tomo, where he has frequently lost his temper. On the December 14, 2022 episode of the TBS program Wednesday Downtown, Girolamo became angry just 4 seconds into the “If you say something bad, you can’t get hit” segment, criticizing the Japanese and getting upset when pointed out. Viewers reacted with comments like “Scary, he’s in full battle mode” and “Dangerous, he might get hit.” In past episodes of Wednesday Downtown, Girolamo has also quickly become irritated when subjected to teasing, almost hitting the hosts.
8. Tsukimi Edamame
Tsukimi Edamame was born on June 1, 1958 and is a Japanese comedian, actor, and host. He was once a member of a biker gang and a right-wing group, and even served time in prison. He formed the comedy duo Gadalcanal Cardinals with his senior and later joined the Tatsumi Gundan group, changing his stage name to Tsukimi Edamame. In 2018, he became the representative director of the talent agency Tap. Edamame is known as a combative entertainer within the Tatsumi Gundan. On the July 21st broadcast of Wednesday Downtown, Edamame participated in a prank segment that applied the concept of his “fighting comedy” routine. When the fake new manager character started insulting him during the staged fight, Edamame instantly hardened his expression and angrily retorted, “What, are you talking to me, you little punk? Come at me again, I dare you.” Hamada Masatoshi, who was watching the VTR, was taken aback by Edamame’s intense rage, as was guest Hikakin. Viewers were also impressed, with comments praising Edamame’s “godly aura” and saying it was “cool and moving” to see him get so angry.
9. Debbie Sukarno
Debbie Sukarno was born in Tokyo in 1942 and is an international cultural figure, serving as the third wife of former Indonesian President Sukarno. She married Sukarno officially in 1962 and is known for her graceful and elegant persona. At 84 years old, she still maintains her natural teeth and appears very healthy. She has the original Sazae-san manga manuscripts displayed in her home and is also credited with naming the famous Tokyo disco Maharaja. Debbie Sukarno’s outburst was directed at lawyer Hiroshi Kitamura, who commented that Sukarno, the former president, also had a first wife. This occurred during a discussion on October 17, 2016 about a husband going out to dinner alone with a female friend. When Kitamura suggested that the husband likely had many female friends, just like the former president, Debbie Sukarno became very angry. She stood up and loudly stated, “I was the third wife, but we didn’t live together!” She then strongly criticized Kitamura, saying “As a lawyer, you’re the worst. This man approves of a husband’s infidelity.” Debbie Sukarno was offended by Kitamura’s remark, as in Indonesia, polygamy was accepted, but the wives did not necessarily live together.
10. Animal Hamaguchi
Animal Hamaguchi was born in 1947 in Shimane Prefecture and became a bodybuilding champion, winning the title of Mr. Hyogo in 1969. He then entered the world of professional wrestling, competing in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, and other promotions, becoming a prominent foreign wrestler. He even had a stint training Naito Tetsuya. Hamaguchi’s outburst on the variety program Wednesday Downtown is well-known. The segment was testing whether ninja techniques could still be effective in modern times. Ohtani Haruka, disguised as a ninja, approached Hamaguchi’s campsite, along with Komiyama from the comedy duo Three Pieces. When they got close, Hamaguchi exploded in anger, yelling “What the hell are you doing? We’re here cooking a delicious meal, and you’re interfering!” He then threw a frying pan at Komiyama and chased him around. The staff tried to calm him down, but his rage did not subside, and Komiyama later complained that Hamaguchi was a scary person. It’s unclear whether Hamaguchi’s outburst was genuine or part of the act.
11. Shidō Nakamura
Shidō Nakamura joined Beat Takeshi’s troupe at the age of 23 in 1988 and formed the manzai duo Asakusa Kit with Tamabukuro Juntarō. His 2004 book “Owarai Otoko no Seiza” was nominated for the Ōya Sōichi Non-Fiction Prize. In 2022, he ran for the House of Councillors election and won, but resigned from his position in January 2023. Nakamura is known for his pursuit of extreme comedy and has had notable conflicts and confrontations with his mentor, Beat Takeshi. Nakamura’s outburst towards Tōru Hashimoto, the mayor of Osaka, occurred in 2013 during a live broadcast of the TV Osaka program Takahito no Nō-Money. Towards the end of the program, Nakamura suddenly stood up and said, “You said I’m just a commentator trying to make some quick money, but that’s not true. I’m leaving the program. Thank you for the past 3 years.” He then walked out of the studio. When asked by reporters if he was really quitting, Nakamura angrily replied “Yes” with a furious expression. This sudden outburst during the live broadcast was apparently due to Hashimoto’s comment labeling Nakamura as a “commentator trying to make some quick money,” which Nakamura could not accept.
12. Badel Eiji

After retiring from professional baseball, he transitioned into the entertainment industry, working as a talent, actor, and commentator. Even at the age of 74, he continues to be active, including completing a marathon. Eiji is known for having lost his temper at Hamada Masatoshi, a member of the comedy duo Viking, during a segment on the program Wednesday Downtown. In the 2016 early morning real escape game segment, Hamada tried to wake the sleeping Eiji to participate in the competition. However, Eiji was in a foul mood upon waking up, angrily telling Hamada “That’s not what I was told” and “You’re an idiot” while slapping his head. Eiji then brought up Hamada’s past tax evasion scandal, saying “Your work has dried up, hasn’t it?” before eventually apologizing and joining the competition, though he remained disgruntled. In another 2019 episode, Eiji’s footage was almost entirely cut, suggesting he may have exhibited problematic behavior during the prank that could not be aired.
13. Badel Eiji (Former Professional Baseball Player and Commentator)
Badel Eiji was a star high school pitcher who set numerous records, later joining the Chunichi Dragons professional baseball team and playing for them for 11 seasons.

Eiji’s most famous outburst occurred during a 2016 early morning real escape game segment on the program Wednesday Downtown. When Hamada Masatoshi, a member of the comedy duo Viking, tried to wake the sleeping Eiji to participate in the competition, Eiji became furious, slapping Hamada’s head and yelling “That’s not what I was told” and “You’re an idiot.” Eiji also brought up Hamada’s past tax evasion issues, before eventually calming down and participating in the game, though he remained visibly disgruntled.
