Since receiving advice from his mentor Terry Ito that comedians need visuals too—go flashy, Pee and his wife have always dressed head-to-toe in pink. When he arrived at the scene, he saw the area around his home soaked with water, but he was quickly taken to Paako. “She was in an ambulance next to the house, panicking, so I went to the hospital with her. She only had minor burns on her fingertips and was able to leave the hospital.” Thankfully, his wife was unharmed, but there was no home to return to. “A kind bar owner, like the boss of Akabane, helped us out a lot. She lent us 100,000 yen. That night we stayed at a hotel she recommended. After that, we moved around and ended up staying in a love hotel in Uguisudani because there was nowhere else (haha).” Even in that situation, Pee had work commitments—guest appearances at theaters and events were scheduled.
