  • In the manzai, he shows movement like thrusting and ballooning laughing, a reaction in response to an escalated boke, which collapses on the spot, a high-tension kicking thrusting movement.
  • Frequently he talks about knowledge gained from his zoo visits and illustrations from variety shows and his blog. His most favourite animal is hippopotamus and advocates the "Hippopotami Theory." In 2009 he made an emblem of a hippopotamus and added it to hiscar and was messed with Chicago Mango. After that, when Shibata consulted George Tokoro about the "production of hippopotamus emblem", Tokoro confirmed that "I will make it", and gave a free birthday hippo emblem to Shibata. The silvery shining emblem was also shown on radio and television programmes.
