Who is my favorite comedian? Why?

I post on June 2, 2006 in fact.

That is my homework of English lesson.
My favorite comedian is KATSURA Shijaku. Correctly speaking, he was KATSURA Shijaku Ⅱ. He was a rakugo actor, and they inherit names from their predecessors. Those inheritances are not based on blood relationship in many cases.
I like him because he was very funny. And there are 2 reasons why he is my favorite comedian.
1st, his performance was very logical. He maintained that relax tension makes people laugh. It was a simple logic but he produced his performance from a deep thought of that, and he succeeded in making people laugh. I sympathize with him because I think deeply before I say something. I have his method as my aim. And he also thought deeply about his life. As a result, he was seized with fear of death, and killed himself because of depression. I must take care not to go his way to that end.
2nd, he was a traditional and revolutionary actor. There are a lot of famous rakugo actors, but some of their fans have not watched them playing as rakugo actors because they are very busy making their appearances on TV. Shijaku also made his appearances on TV dram, but he kept his regular occupation. He studied how to play on a limited space, on a cushion. And he was a challenger, he was well known as a pioneer of English rakugo.
I tried to explain why KATSURA Shijaku is my favorite comedian, but it is not enough. I love his performance because it is very funny.
