The story
Taigawa Yosuke’s conduct on the September 12 broadcast of the TV Tokyo variety show “Tag on the Local Bus! ~Escape From Bus Trip Master Taigawa~ Ibaraki Gourmet Battle Special,” his first appearance in the series in eight months, became a hot topic on social media. The long-running series has been known for its odd-couple duo of Taigawa and Ebisu Yoshinori, but with Ebisu absent from recent location shoots, viewers have increasingly pointed out that Taigawa seems “irritable” in how he treats general participants and fellow cast members. On 5channel, opinions split between those who say Taigawa’s temperament has been this way since Ebisu was still on the show, and those who think his rougher, unfiltered side has become more noticeable now that Ebisu isn’t there to soften things — with debate also flaring over who should take over Ebisu’s “tell-it-like-it-is” role.

What people said
She's cute, so it's not a problem.
When regular participants fumble around getting on and off the bus, Taigawa does get visibly irritated.
Guess we should just watch that instead, huh.
Miharu is currently battling cancer.
Hiroshi would be good.
like 'If you call me by just my name, I'll slap you' or
'Speak to me in polite language,'

They need to edit it so it doesn't come across that way.
If it's too blatant, even amateurs can tell.
He's settled into being the old guy the young cast members tease now.
The conversations (light trash-talking) that happen when Taigawa's not around are the funny part lol
He's actually serious and meticulous. He notices things more than you'd expect from a guy.
All sorts of stuff comes out of his bag — cooling packs, you name it — and when there's downtime he'll go buy niku-man (steamed pork buns) for everyone. He's got his good sides too lol
this is a show where you're supposed to enjoy Taigawa's twisted sense of justice.
Ikoma-chan too.
That's Taigawa for you.
Makes me wonder if that's what Jiro Sato's attitude toward Ai Hashimoto was like lol
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Since the “Bus Trip” series began airing in 2007, its signature draw has been the mismatched duo of Taigawa Yosuke and Ebisu Yoshinori. In recent years, however, Ebisu’s appearances have decreased due to his age and health, and the show has continued with other co-stars such as Kusanagi and Murashige. On the thread, opinions were split between those who say Taigawa’s irritable attitude is nothing new and was already his defining trait when Ebisu was still on the show, and those who believe his unfiltered harshness has become more noticeable now that he’s lost Ebisu as a “buffer” — the article alone doesn’t settle which reading reflects the actual change. It’s also worth noting that the “domineering husband”-style anecdotes about Taigawa’s private life are stories he himself has shared on TV in the past, and there’s no evidence directly tying them to this recent irritability report.
