Ama En-Bow

I am Ama En-Bow, an internationally certified professional comic storyteller. My real name is Hideo Tonomoto.

I believe that laughter is one of the best ways to relieve stress and bring positive energy into our lives.

Using a projector and slides, I perform my own unique style of comic storytelling, combining traditional Japanese storytelling techniques with humor that is easy to understand and enjoy.

After more than 300 performances, encouraged by audiences who have told me, “It was fun, interesting, and inspiring,” I have developed my own style that combines comic storytelling, lectures, and audience participation.

I am also the president of the Great Kanreki Challenge Club (www.120-health.club), taking on the unprecedented challenge of living a healthy and active life to the age of 120.

I hope my laughter, stories, and spirit of challenge can bring smiles and inspiration to people around the world.
