Biography

He moved to Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture for six months and then moved to Chūō-ku, Niigata in Niigata Prefecture in 1980 and then grew up in Izumi-shi, Miyagi Prefecture (now Izumi-ku, Sendai) since 1984. This is due to his father's relocation.

He had been working as an amateur with the name "Yuyoyuyon" with another partner with the goal of belonging to the Yoshimoto Kogyo Sendai Office (Sendai Yoshimoto) founded in 1995, but before joining, he withdrew (there was a report that he belonged to Sendai Yoshimoto, but it was misinformation.) He appeared in the amateur section of "Sendai Yuyaji Theater" as "Yuyayuyon".

On 11 March 2011, the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurred during the location of ''Sand no Bonyarinu TV'' at Kesennuma, which hit his partner Mikio Date and the programme staff. Although he took refuge at Azumi Mountain by the staff's instructions, a fire broke out after the town was flooded by the tsunami, and it became in a state where they could not go down the mountain. After that, they evacuated to a hotel lobby in Kesennuma. The next morning he reported on his blog that they were safe, and while he was headed for Tohoku Broadcasting, he was live on ''Hiroshi Kume Radio nandesukedo''. After arriving at Tohoku Broadcasting, he went to his parents house and confirmed the safety of his relatives. It took him ten hours to return to Tokyo. Furthermore, the comment column of Tomizawa's blog is open as a communication bulletin board of safety information.

On 27 April 2011, his eldest son was born, while his second son was born on 9 June 2015.

In the ''neta'', if he gets thrust, he tilts his neck or give a bow. He corrects himself even if he gets stuck in the blur of words mistakes.

He has favourite likes and dislikes in food, especially poor in seafood.

He e-mails with his wife all day at his loving wife's house. For some reason wife's name in mobile is not her nickname but her full name. In order to strike mobile phones on their ''neta'', he also carries three chargers around.

It is a descent that can not be drunk at all, and he had vomited with two cups of kahlua and milk. He is a smoker, but sucks Neosider at home.

Hobbies, preferences

He became fond of cats because he kept a cat at his parents' home.

He cannot eat seafood such as crab and mackerel, but he likes chum salmon and Pacific saury. He likes melon soda and mapo doufu, but he is not good at strawberries

Among his favourite video games are some in the Pro Evolution Soccer series. He will occasionally play with his friend, Sukima Switch's Shintarō Tokita, while watching soccer games.

He likes the Oakland Raiders of the NFL, and the Detroit Pistons of the NBA, and sometimes wear NBA uniforms in sales.

His favourite fashion brand is Cune, where the rabbits are printed on jeans.
