On the Move with Zero Muscle Exposure: Nakayama Kinni’s Independent Success Gathering 5,000 Local Salespeople – The Power!

On a mid-April evening, Nakayamakini, 45, emerged from the Shinkansen ticket gate at Shinagawa Station with his staff, disguised with a sun visor.

He seemed to be on his way home from a local business trip, and perhaps because his muscular beauty, of which he is so proud, was not on display, he was walking along unnoticed.

In 2000, he debuted as a pin comedian with a “muscle gag” at the forefront, but was regarded by fellow comedians and fans as one of the “one-hit wonders. However, at the end of 2009, he was not able to make his debut as a pin comedian. However, when he became independent from Yoshimoto Kogyo at the end of 2009, his work increased sevenfold in just six months.

He is also involved in “Online Fitness,” a service that provides muscle training instruction via online connection, and his YouTube channel “The Muscle TV,” which he has been running since 2004, has 2.44 million subscribers (as of April 30), and both channels continue to grow. Both are continuing to grow. At local events, we have even attracted an extraordinary number of visitors, over 5,000,” said a writer for a TV magazine.

He was even introduced as “Reiwa’s CM king” in the April 2011 issue of “AERA dot. Furthermore, a look at his Instagram page shows that he is constantly sought out for business at large regional shopping malls and schools, etc. At an event held at a large shopping mall in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, on April 7, 2,000 people gathered in attendance.

Kinnikun is always in full throttle with his “muscle power,” but on this day, perhaps feeling a bit tired, it was impressive to see him walking at a slow pace behind the staff.

On April 29, Gibraltar Life Insurance conducted a survey of 2,000 men and women as part of its “Survey on Physical and Mental Health Promotion 2024,” asking them which celebrity they thought had the strongest mental health. Kinnikun was chosen third.

The days of being called a “one-hit wonder” are already in the past. Now he is more than just muscles. He is a “power entertainer” who will continue to be active at the forefront of the entertainment industry.
