#13 Ken Tanaka meets David Ury. デビットユーリと田中けん＊出会い

[shizzlefoo7]

Wish I thought you were just acting ken! Wow good luck with your brother and getting to know each other -x___x-

[SuperKlamka]

You're such a jerk!

[BarneysanchezDH]

That's pretty crazy, the whole accent thing...

[Skar200]

HAHA LOL I saw him in Shoot em up in the end scene and was like WAiiiit a minute thats Ken Tenaka. Shame on him though he should have auditioned to play Count Olaf, I love Jim Carrey but Ury doesn't need any makeup and he can do the accents.

[DrWatsonPostmortem]

Test.

[DrWatsonPostmortem]

Oh, and by the way, I found Remi's Facebook ... She's Chinese.

[DrWatsonPostmortem]

This is so fake. These guys are hardly in the same shot together, and when they are, you can't get a good look at their faces. You guys were totally had. I would think that this was all just a harmless joke, but this guy LIED about trying to find his parents, and I don't doubt several people over the internet have tried to assist him. Who knows if this guy can even speak Japanese?

[philbx1]

Everyone should seek and find themselves! Good lesson Ken (and David :-)

[CL100100]

Nice Story Bro!!!

[Mixikyr]

Hahahah, I loved this.

[Bokwoon95]

Damn... Trolling YouTube as Ken tanaka, and trolling some more with this video.

[dhhs91]

Everybody, don't be sad, Ken Tanaka is real. He's very real. More real than most people out there for sure ;)

[BaabaduheHe]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DD

[RoxasX58]

This is a cat XD

[neomix21]

He is a good actor. But this just broke my heart.

[Theotim92]

I don't mind if Ken Tanaka is only a David Ury's creation... I just enjoy his videos :)

[TGSHokuto]

David Ury is ken tanaka...my heart is broken when i found out the truth...but damn hes a good actor

[garnet1223]

This is soo weird..its like i know its obvious acting, but its so hard to watch. He seems a little..slow if you know what i mean

[kohsukesama]

Look 2:59 it's not Ken. They are the same person and if you search David Ury on Wikipedia, it tells you everything.

[HCEveningWalk]

@kohsukesama Most articles can be edited by anyone on Wiki, even the website itself admits it.

[Scum71succer]

Fascinating I hope he keeps doing what he is doing :D

[ninjakid2]

歯とほくろの位置が同じじゃないか！

Teeth and Mole same position.

[iamthehighlander1]

he's a good actor

[Sonicboom0075]

David is actually Ken Tanaka's Nobody. The reason you don't see him anymore is because they fused.

[JAWdog777]

@Sonicboom0075 Kingdom Hearts reference

[hebneh]

I don't know how I happened to miss this episode back when I was watching Ken-san's other videos a few years ago.

How uplifting to see that he finally made contact with his family!

(And yeah, this is a comedy act created by a professional actor who's very adept at speaking with a Japanese accent. If you thought it was real, that shows how skilled this man is at creating his character. Don't get angry; admire him for his talent.)

[YumiOfLyoko]

Knowing that "Ken Tanaka" is fake is not only sad but outrageous and annoying!!

You know, people waste their time watching your videos thinking you're an amazing guy on a real mission, seems very inspirational, fascinating and poignant, until they find out its just a lame act!

You should stop doing this.

[BenjaminWirtz]

@YumiOfLyoko

I just discovered his videos today and knew it was an act from the beginning. He is a very convincing actor though.

[TerraUchiha1]

@YumiOfLyoko So true, I cried for him at times, and prayed, and even tried looking up persons by the name of "John and Linda Smith..."

[justcallmeassinine]

Ken "David" Tanaka is funny and talented. Hope to see more of him.

[spetznas101]

I just saw him on the new Bones Episode

[Bot2Talk2]

Milk? lol really?

lol!

[xindigOstarkx]

Wow this is sad....

I actually believed "Ken" was real before.

And wanted to help him.

Ohmyy

[777mxr]

I thought that I had seen him on tv before, and he didn't have that Japanese accent.

[aysharemei]

I am very addicted to ken tanaka channel lol I think he is brilliant! That just show you a great comedian and gosh he is so believable lol

[T3rr0rK3k5]

So, he is fake? for real? wtf?

[Grimstringer]

Great actor! i found about you today ( sorry :/ ) watched some of your vids and they are really funny! i really like the speak japanese ! keep it up

[SariaChord0TouchWeb]

Son of a bitch! I thought Ken Tanaka was Real! SON OF A BITCH. I have been had! Oh It's so cruel. So so cruel.

[TerraUchiha1]

@SariaChord0TouchWeb So true, I cried for him at times, and prayed, and even tried looking for persons by the name of "John and Linda Smith..."

[BigYerke]

definately a good actor i now have the urge to watch more of him

[pyrocabalier]

you are fake you really did it up just to get in act men haha xD but it's life you should expect anything form anyone so keep it doing it great job

[kindersurprise8]

あぁここで普通にカミングアウトされてたわけだね。

これ見たとき、日本人はディヴィッド・ユライ?を知らんからスル­ーしていたわｗ

[nintend0fr33k]

I'll give you one thing, I actually bought it until this video. :/

[gonzatlas]

It's just for entertainment ppl!

[verbali]

wow. i really believed ken would exists. he made me really happy. but like everything else in this world, it turned out it is just fake. what a sad message.

:(

[Blackbarbietea]

So if it's the same person, how did he get the beard?

[BenjaminWirtz]

@Blackbarbietea

I was thinking that, but if you think about it, it is possible he had this video planned for a while and so filmed the part of himself when he had his beard grown out.

[bduddy55555]

Come on, people, he even has a disclaimer on his user page. This is just a clever nod, with some clever editing...

[Rhyminggaijin]

lol

[102369101]

>.> i wonder what those People who he called and went to said ............

[102369101]

im now really confused

[XxPepperMintxX]

Aw David, your brother was raised up to be retarded :\

[kerflop]

this is a cat

[01WALKMAN01]

fuck i thougth ken tanaka was for real men bull shit i am goin to cry ui was planing on visit kentanaka know all i have is nothin NOTHING I SAY HUHUHUHUHHUHUHU WHAY WHAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAY

[Soulrider2012]

I can't believe the video was that bad & obvious. If you're going to try & pull something like this off to keep the joke going (that Ken is real) then you'd think you'd do a better job with the basics like the right shoulder/left shoulder thing. I saw that while watching the video & just started laughing. I find the Ken videos amusing & silly but never thought he was real. I took one look at Davd Ury's page on IMDB and knew it was the same guy. I mean the hair, side burns, mole, teeth.

[puckman]

Thanks Ken and David for setting the record straight! As someone once said "ignorance is bliss";)

[ferdausaz]

that must be his evil twin... ;p

[anticliche321]

Your brother is cool.. not as funny as you though lolz

[punkgrl325]

lol, I can't believe there are still people here who totally missed the point of the vid and still think Ken's real but now just has a long lost twin. C'mon people... XD

[BP5M]

Ow man, i thought ken was real :( ... you got me man... Now i need to find out if daxflame is real or not. lol.

[Tawichi]

The Parent Trap

[juanfrixxx]

hahahahaha dudeeee

DUDEEEEE THATS SOOO A BAD JOKE , I WAS WILLING TO HELP TANAKA

CONGRATZ

WHAT ABOUT THE LENGUAGE ?

EXPLAIN IT ALL !!!!

CONGRATULATION

EN SERIO QUE BESTIA CABRON ME VISTE LA CARA JUNTO CON MILES DE PERSONAS , TE ODIO Y TE ADMIRO

[Ludicrousx]

You can tell at 3:22. /: Mehh~

[gruu]

Genious...pure genious

[Gyroglle]

I don't like these weird foolery things in which people act all 'artsy' and stuff saying that things are 'real in their own way'. It makes no sense.

[Flamz0rz]

mehhhh, i actually really though this was real :(

[SupaDpe]

yea i just saw the hair get shorter on the back of "David's" head that gave it away for me. Nice catch on the shoulder switch though.

[Masamune364]

great acting!

[uniupload]

He comments himself as handsome, lol

[MrCalist]

Ken Tanaka is real! There is a little Ken Tanaka in all of us.... but we're real... and our family reunions are filmed in real time... and not in the fourth dimension.

[mugiwara123456789]

torororororooroooororororororo­roroooorroororo

[iLuvMaplestoryX3]

OMG TWINSS

[tweet01uk]

this makes me sad, i thought ken tanaka was real :,(

[josuke80]

@tweet01uk Yes, me too...this was just an exercise to test his talent as an actor, you are good, you are happy now?? ...but this is not funny

[betterdropdatdonk]

@tweet01uk At first I was sad too. I then fell in love with him more because he was actually a Japanese resident while going to college there. He's a very cool, diverse individual.

[miltonlandriel]

I don't know why so many people believed ken tanaka really existed. I mean, It's retarded to even consider it... And even if you do consider it, you can look it up in no time.

[haruhitsugara]

even though ken is fake he is still awesome very well done you had me fooled for like a month xD

[SmokeyIvoryWay]

Is this for real????

[matt999tye]

Had me going until this one... sort of. His accent sounded like a fake french-man at times, and his attitude was like no Japanese man I've ever met. Very well done though!

[MsLovleySorrow]

ROFL!!!! 

[PIatinum]

Wait what?? How do u know hes fake?

[tiensh]

Is this all a joke? Bloody i thought it was real!

[Kail200X]

Well played, David. Well played indeed. XD

[missionduorose]

ok i get it. you're an actor. wow i really believed you for a minute. Well at least this video helps viewers see you were acting.

[TamaDuder]

fuck me.so ken tanaka is fake?wow.i think americans call it "buzzkill"!?

[ellaumbrella1234]

hahahahhaahhahaha

[Darkcurse101]

I almost cried for them, and then this turns out to be FAKE?!?!?! So upset right now.

[guhimura]

played us all....HACK THAT´S DICK ACCOUNT!!

[Scuddsie]

So Ken Tanaka is David Ury. You played me. I am so pissed at the moment. I stumbled on your later videos and thought I'd check them from the start. #3 was so heart wrenching. I really felt for you man. But this is just a Borat joke to you. FFS. No one likes being played. They just say 'well done' and 'good acting sir' to cover for themselves. In the words of the Simpsons 'we got grifted by the best'. I'll watch some of the later videos cos your a talented SOB, but I won't trust/belive you. Ever.

[ThatChubbyDude]

@Scuddsie THIS +1.

[ThatChubbyDude]

After finding out that this is all a farce, I was legitimately pissed off. But now about 3 days later, I had some time to think about it and just came to the conclusion that I should be more wary of anything I seen on the ol' internets. My experience online made me complacent and I'm glad that Ken Tanaka could point out that vulnerability without asking for any donations or directing me to some crappy website. Joke or not, Tanaka is entertaining--and that's all I ever wanted out of him.

[Darkcurse101]

@ThatChubbyDude

So this whole entire searching quest is a lie?!?!

I didnt see that coming.

[ThatChubbyDude]

@Darkcurse101 Yeah, it's just a parody/show, really. Takeo is a fake too, and even Remi pretends to be a character on her vlog. Just don't take anything you see on Youtube seriously and you'll feel a lot less pissed off and more open to just enjoy the vids they post. :3

[Darkcurse101]

@ThatChubbyDude

I just read you other post again and now it makes more sense. Great conclusion, I just came to that. Thanks again.

[weiwuwei01]

very clever video.

[nofreedomofspeech]

lol @ how many that haven't figured it out! I have known for a long time but still likes the watch the adventures of "Ken Tanaka", it's great fun.

[mimei]

lmao omg.

[Myasorez]

sonofa.... grrr dammit

i thought u are real

DAMMIT

GAAHHH *shakes fist to the sky*

[mngapro]

woooow



[TiffanyMunro]

continuity error:

They hug and Kens head is on Davids left shoulder.

In the next clip Kens head is on Davids right shoulder.

Good actor, bad cinematographer. ;)

[flaviolimaj]

@TiffanyMunro hahaha... not a bad cinematographer haha

that`s a small mistake... even blockbusters like Spider-man have problems like these haha.

but I was really surprised that this story was not real :O

[phubans]

@TiffanyMunro Nice catch... I wish this was real, but oh well... I'm sure there must be at least ONE white kid that was adopted by Japanese parents, though.

[falconfira]

@TiffanyMunro good eye

[thechevron]

@TiffanyMunro

it was obviously done like that so you could see his face from both shots. stop being so picky

[TiffanyMunro]

@thechevron CONGRATS! YOU WON THE INTERNET! You caught me.

[KzrrainzYes]

@thechevron Give it up. Stop living in denial.

[ashestoyoursoul]

@TiffanyMunro it's so funny and that's why I like him. It's so funny how so many people take this seriously

[m2362]

@TiffanyMunro You should watch Shoot 'Em Up at the end in the cafe :)

[fierceferosh]

wow this is fake your a dick

[LotusDragon09]

AH! I just left a comment on another of your videos. The "im trying to find my parents" one. Wow, youre good.  Ah well, that comment I left still stands. :)

[HLGFreeman]

This whole thing is some of the best stuff I've ever seen on youtube.

Brilliant , genius, etc.

[Ghostmonsters]

i'm so sad that you aren't real: (

[Thor22289]

You know... Octocat also wants to find his parents.

[wtfEver111]

blah I am disappointed . . . you don't look similar to David Ury - you ARE David Ury . . . I always had this niggling feeling the "Ken Tanaka" character was fake . . . I've always noticed that when you speak English, you barely make any grammatical errors . . . for someone learning English for only such a small percentage of your life, you can't possibly be non-native with an authentic japanese accent . . . now I understand why you have that odd disclaimer on your channel page - so disappointed

[boxEEbby]

@wtfEver111 Oh wow I can't believe you thought it was real lol

[wtfEver111]

@boxEEbby well, i didn't start knowing about Ken Tanaka with this video

[Kazumac18]

Man i was dman fooled =.= awesome ....just awesome =.=

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

I love both of you. ;)

[4ourTimber]

Great video editing skills!!!!

[Sasinio]

This was all fake? I fucking cried for you! Goddamn! Im so disappointed right now...

[makantang]

plz tell me how u know its fake .. i wanna know ... seriously...is it the camera??

[nellie2581]

This video is weird but good.

[ubersum1]

wow i mean i cant believe anyone actually didnt fucking realise this is just really good comedy... how thick are some people huh ^^

[MsEmmazing]

Aw man, I was hoping this was real.

[vitidoux]

pfffft thats so fake!! You most def are a good actor thought...

[dhewie03]

is this for real ???

[dhewie03]

DANG !! you fooled me XD

hahaha LOL

[6casi8modo9]

is this for real? :O

[vitidoux]

no it isn't look at "tanakasan's" hair 2:06 that aint his hair. also Linda Smith , is his mom? RLY? why not Jane doe instead?

[PinkLemonadeInc]

@LTEstyles it's not a fetish you perv! He really did live in Japan. He developed a really good fake accent and created Ken Tanaka.

[Solnobori85]

This is actually really cool. It his way of responding to all the people who accused him of being a fake, though its obvious he is just performing a character for fun. So he went and made this video to expand on his character and get back at all the idiot keyboard jockey critics who have been calling him out.

[mogutan]

Holy shit! That's some good acting!!!

[didanybodyfindwaldo]

This made me cry !!! so sweet

[memymusicloveables]

Wow he had me fooled ): .. I felt really bad for him at first until I watched this -__-..

[bilalsheikh]

First time I saw this in 2007 it nearly made me cry.

Then I saw it just now for the second time and it nearly made me cry.

But I'm wondering: Who loves who more? Do you love us more, or do we love you more? I think we love you more because there's so many of us, but if there were as many Ken Tanakas as there are people on Youtube who love you, then I think you would love us more. Or maybe it would be そっくりだ！

[Iceberqe]

i always knew something wasnt right about that guy. being adopted by japanese? well, might be possible. but what always bothered me is that he speaks english with a very heavy accent, but uses at the same time words someone would only on a very advanced level.

and when i saw him in the movie Shoot em Up with clive owen speaking perfect english i finally knew what was really going on.

[hazimbanjar]

i'm really wondering why you live in japan instead of the US ?

[YouveStolenMyEyes]

@hazimbanjar japan's a cool place

[LaotianPride14]

Because of this video... I now know that his other videos are fake. Ken Tanaka is just another character for him.

[switchcade]

I always thought his engrish accent was a little off for a japanese. Well played though.

[CanisLupus1987]

Nice acting lol

[kotarubaru]

/:

this is fakeee

what i think is that David Ury is Ken Tanaka =o=

he just likes the jap culture i guess???

cuz David Ury knows japanese also >>

[VriakII]

I just went from quasi fan to full fan. Great work! I will keep tuning in with the hopes you find Bob and Alice Green.

[scarabmango]

Let's see them appear together in a live broadcast.

[laloanany]

KEN TANAKA loves youuuuu. GOOD BYE

[xmitsuakix]

.... this is a well made video...

they're pretty much the same person in this video.

pay attention to the person's back hair >.> communitychannel uses this technique to acts as multiple people in her videos.

btw, good acting as two different person. impressive.

[NameTaken1000]

Man this was really good.

[MasterTaco666]

Roflmao this is great...

[stanisgodz]

this video is fantastic

[groupjapan]

wow hes really good at acting then, he was in heroes and everything, i truly believed he was ken tanaka for the longest time.....

[hatciyh]

hahahahaha... the cat just bark

[kitrainer]

なんなのよ　この人？！　超ムカツク！！　君は、くたばれ！！

[shesamime]

this makes me sad.... i felt so bad for the guy...

[cofka16]

this is  real?

[laloanany]

@cofka16 yeah, its real. lol

[LTEstyles]

It's very common for white guys from California to have a fetish for asian girls (especially japanese) A lot of them can speak japanese fluently, There are tons of these white older guys from the 70's who pick up japanese girls in hawaii and California. So this is no talent, just a fetish.

[Christosan88]

Great acting. Ken tanaka is so genuine

[Racr4Lyfe]

What's that piano song at the end?

[HoneysEffect]

let's just say he has multiple personalities.. Steve, David & Ken. I love Ken the most though~

[laloanany]

LOL

[Mikej1592]

ROFL I thought it was funny, just a bit of cheesy to make it funny.

I think he makes these videos to be funny, if you dont see the humor in them then why watch? seems like wasting time.

I find these videos very funny, no matter who is real, Ken, David, whoever I like them and I hope he keeps making more. :-)

[ViLLaPiNoZ]

David ury has amazing acting talents!

[memoriesin]

i cried watching this ...

i really hope ken tanaka will find his real parents :)

Gambateh!

[SuiOni]

@memoriesin are you a load of dump?

He and this david ury are the same person ... you can see they are rare at same time in one picture and when they are the background is calm so its easy for adobe after effects to merge 2 videos an so on an blah blah so buy a brain at ebay and think.... the holy story is a lie its a joke it seems to be real to catch viewer well and as you can see the brain wached people here are really foold in this hole sory so ...HA HA!

[sargeantscigar]

Idiot.

[Namini11]

okay so hold up

i thought ken has an accent

and if this was fake then david ury is ken

and he didnt have an accent O_o then does this mean that all of his vids are fake?

[MorroccoSurrogate]

Wouldn't that be amazing, though? To find out that you have a long-lost identical twin.

I would gay marry it, personally.

[Darkherm]

But still, i love Ken Tanaka!
