Eiko Kano has been appointed as the head of the Mandu division of the global Korean food brand 'bibigo'! Today (the 3rd), an inauguration announcement event was held in Tokyo. As the newly appointed Mandu head, he expressed his enthusiasm, saying, 'As the Mandu head, I want to work hard to spread Mandu. I will do my best to create opportunities for everyone to take their first bite.' Additionally, in response to the company's CEO stating, 'Kano is loved across generations,' he showed humility, saying, 'I was shaking behind the scenes. Please don't look too much at the internet about me, President,' which drew laughter. Regarding his feelings when he received the offer to be the Mandu head, he revealed, 'Honestly, I thought, why me? (laughs).' He also mentioned that he felt about 30% of it might be a prank, but since it seems serious, he wants to take it seriously as well! Kano also touched on the culture in Korea of eating Mandu with family during the New Year, emphasizing, 'Everyone makes it together, putting 'fortune' inside the Mandu skin along with the ingredients, and we want to eat and take in that 'fortune' without letting it escape from the skin; it's a lucky food.' He highlighted, 'It seeps into the five organs!' During the event, there was also a scene where Eiko Kano wrote his goals on a giant Mandu panel. When the panel appeared, he showcased his familiar gag 'Staffuu!' again, making the audience laugh. Furthermore, he evaluated the campaign's hashtag '#Ganbare Kano Mandu Head,' saying, 'I have even received a reply from Elon Musk on X (Twitter)...' He added, 'Having hiragana, kanji, and katakana in the hashtag makes it hard to go viral! For someone like me who is a buzz list, it's too easy!' At the end of the event, he commented that he wants to recommend Mandu for the New Year’s dining table. 'For us comedians, there are events like M-1 and the Kohaku Uta Gassen, and anyway, during the New Year, there are more fun special programs. I think it would be nice to gather friends and comedian colleagues to make Mandu soup, hot pot, or have a Mandu party, enjoying a fun time together.' At 6 PM today, a video series capturing Eiko Kano's efforts as Mandu head will also be released on the newly established YouTube channel '#Ganbare Kano Mandu Head [bibigo Official].' Attention is gathering for his diverse activities in the future.
