At noon on the 14th, a teaser reading only “Bunshun’s Cannon Aimed at an Enta Comedian” began circulating, and with the target’s name withheld, a 5ch thread turned into a full-blown guessing game over who it could be. The only clue was a single silhouette image, and names of comedians who appeared on 2000s “Enta”-style variety shows — Hanawa, Passion Yura, Ultraman, Stretch Man, and more — came up one after another. Mentions of comedians who seemingly never get hit with scandals, like Egashira 2:50, got thrown in too, and the thread was buzzing well before any confirmed information surfaced.

Haven't seen this guy in forever
Is he even still active?
10AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:05
Is it Yakkun?!
12AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:06

13AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:06
It's either Passion Yura or Hanawa, right?
16AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:07
Guess nobody can really tell yet just from a silhouette
17AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:07
Surprisingly a lot of guys this silhouette could actually be
19AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:07
It's Ultraman Seven-Eleven, obviously (a joke mashing up Ultraman Seven with the convenience store chain)
21AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:09
A guy who's dropped his old Enta-era bit entirely… gotta be Inui Hiroshi
22AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:09
Is it Ha◯awa doing his Gu◯ts Ishimatsu bit?
23AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:10
Ain't got no choice but to ride this big wave (a famous meme catchphrase)
24AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:10
Is this about him ditching Saga and putting out a Saitama song instead?
25AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:12
Beckham, Ultraman, or Hanawa?
29AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:15
What'd he even do
If it's just cheating, who gives a damn
35AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:19
Re: #29
That's exactly the problem, it's NOT "who gives a damn"
If it's Hanawa, his main income is a YouTube channel built around being a loving couple with a happy family for a mostly housewife audience — this would end him

Re: #29 Re: #39
Can't you read?
30AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:16
It's Red Yoshida's partner, right?
34AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:18
Re: #30
That guy visits reform schools and prisons and stuff, he seems like such a good person though
31AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:17
Has to be Obocchama-kun, nobody else fits
36AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:19
Fat Cowboy… please tell me that's a lie…
37AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:19
I'll be so disappointed if it's Stretch Man
He even came to my old school back in the day
39AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:19
My guess is it's either a money dispute or power-harassment toward staff
40AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:20
Baumkuchen in the shoot van again? (a callback to the euphemism from a past scandal)
42AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:21
The man about to become Bunshun's prey — IT'S THIS GUY!
43AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:22
I always think about this — dig into Egashira and you'd expect endless money or sex scandals to turn up, but somehow nothing ever does, it's hilarious
If a scandal ever did hit Egashira, the damage to his ads and YouTube would be brutal
44AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:22
Turns out it was a chocolate cornet, you know!
47AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:23
If it's an Enta comedian, it's gotta be Inui Hiroshi, no question
48AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:23
Axel Hopper, cut it out already
50AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:23
Is it the guy who was making fun of Guts Ishimatsu?
52AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:25
What's this "material ban" thing about?
Did Saga Prefecture get pissed at Hanawa for abandoning Saga and moving to Yokohama?
His younger brother also goes around claiming to be from Chiba
69AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:43
Did Matsuyuki Yasuko file a complaint or something?
70AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:45
So THAT'S why he switched from Hanawa to Inui Hiroshi
71AnonymousOct 14, 2026 11:45
Egashira must've blown a fuse
Wasn't he told not to publicize that he's from Saga Prefecture or something
Background and Talking Points
Before an issue hits newsstands, Shukan Bunshun sometimes runs a teaser on “Bunshun Online” that withholds the target’s identity, along the lines of “embargo lifts today at noon” — and this “Bunshun’s Cannon Aimed at an Enta Comedian” post followed that same playbook. With the name kept secret, 5ch users ended up throwing out the name of practically every comedian who’d ever appeared on an Enta-style variety show. Worth noting: the only clue was a single silhouette image, and nobody actually had confirmed information. The thread’s appeal wasn’t about attacking any specific comedian — it was purely a guessing game — and based on the posts available at this point, there’s no way to confirm who the target actually turned out to be.
