Teruyuki Tsuchida

He has been active as a solo comedian since 2001, but started in the entertainment industry in 1992 as a kombi called U-Turn with Morihiro Tsushima, which dissolved in 2001 when Tsushima retired from the industry.

In 2001, Tsushima retired from the industry and U-Turn was dissolved. Tsuchida continued activities as a solo comedian and thrived as a comedic reporter at first. He slowly gained popularity with his talk skills and persona with appearances on multiple talk shows and achieved success. Recently, he has also worked as a media commentator and expresses his views on various issues on TV.

At the Tokyo Announcer Academy, Tsuchida met Morihiro Tsushima, who was the president of the student council in high school. The combination of former delinquent and former student council president generated popularity for the duo as they decided to form a comedy unit together called U-Turn. The duo was well received immediately after formation with their conte skits. However, throughout the 10 years leading up to the unit's dissolve, their popularity did not rise and dwindled as by 1999, the group had almost zero regular programs and little income compared to earlier years.
