Ponkicki has been running for 34 years on Fuji TV. "Be Ponkicki" is the third in the series, Fuji said.

He doesn't do ads for au, he does ads for SoftBank.

Yeah. One would think such an important difference would be easily and quickly rectified by a moderator or an Editor...
The guy is still showing up on just about every Softbank commercial along with the white dog.
Wonder what he will be doing on the kids show? Hopefully he won't have to wear a bright orange monster outfit with stupid cones sticking out of it like Konishiki did for his term on an NHK kids show.
