The central concept of his act is that Torihada claims to be an extreme right-winger and a supporter of imperialism and militarism.[1] According to essayist Mike Rogers writing in 2005, he was "the first Japanese comedian to venture into taboo subjects like the Imperial Family and make a mockery of Imperial Japan."[2]
