[ipoonhobos]

i am heartbroken after i found out that ken tanaka is fake

[nuorangejapan]

@ipoonhobos Ahahahaha, yeah, you just listen to him talk, his speech is not derived from someone constrained by Japanese phonemes, but he's a fun character nonetheless.

[MrSockfoot]

がんばってね！

[reileyb]

[TheLifeOfRob]

Hey Ken! I admire you're determinaiton to find your parents. I saw you on Tokyocooney's channel when he met you and just started watching your videos, I know this was a long time ago so as I watch more I hope to see that you found your parents? I am coming to live and study in Japan (I think it will be Tokyo) for one year, starting august 2011, I'm very excited.

Do you mind telling me the name of the song right at the end of the video?

Check out my videos! I just started a blog series, thanks

[martydrooo]

I LOVE YOU KEN TANAKA

[MsxMisunderstood]

I hate people who do that, "Are you really!? Speak some Japanese!!! " -_0

[Ruvigy]

4:43 That's some Japanese spirit =D

[thepleiadesproject]

Ken, have you registered with any of the services or organisations in the USA that help connect adopted children to their biological parents. I mean are you serious in your search or are you just enjoying the search itself.

[dtrapover21]

英語も日本語も微妙だな〜。英語が日本語訛りになってる。

[objectivecomments16]

@dtrapover21 ばーか。わざとだよ

[objectivecomments16]

@objectivecomments16　実際日本人の英語をばかにしてるだけじゃん。

[Invocati]

Seem fake as fuck.

[TheBecauseimboredatm]

@Invocati Your fake as fuck. Shut the fuck up you arrogant American.

[Invocati]

@TheBecauseimboredatm I'm Swedish you punk. And you should shut the fuck up.

[Cytoran]

[dreamchaser171]

Yes it is sad to watch, but your resilience and your hope is extreamly inspirational ... i feel like you are trying so hard, your english is getting there... i hope you reach your destination. x

[UchihaYuuki65]

I have a question, why don't you search for Linda instead of Jonathan?

[UchihaYuuki65]

Except for this guy, he's fine.

[UchihaYuuki65]

A lot of these people are acting rude. (Jonnathan Smith)

[Cycloud]

Stoppu! :D

[Kisumaru100]

@Cycloud lol

[mcglynnpaula8]

Ohhh Ken, youmake me smile when I watch your videos. You're such a happy person.

[yakuzafromhiroshima]

nnnaahh its fake. this black guy looks like the guys from the san diego comic con

[ShouriMajo]

がんばってね、KENさん!

[Neroburningyou]

He looks like a rapist rofl i would close the door especially when he talks like that

[jgtokyo]

"I got some good sperm, but it aint that good." HaHa

[litoXvannie]

がんばってね、けんさん。

そして、あなたはちょっと面白いですね。

(:

[oLynxXo]

Tanaka-san, I so hope you will find your parents. I bet they are looking for you, too! Gambate!

[HighShippu]

Ehhhh! Sogoi yo O Ken-san, boko mo hajimete tensei wa mete

[amIn00b]

lol probably not

[tsjakareira]

How come comments need approval for this video? When I click "Post Comment" it says "Comment pending approval".

[tsjakareira]

If he's faking it, he's pretty good. The only things that make me think it could be fake is the fact that his grammar is almost perfect and that his story seems to come from a Hollywood tearjerker.

[ytgfy]

Ken, my name is Jonathan Smith, I dated a Linda Abercrombie back in 1972. I don't remember those days very clearly (one too many Dead concerts) but we had some very good times.

Ken, Linda and I drifted apart after I caught her cheating on me with two roadies, and I never really knew what became of her. But I did hear rumors that she was pregers with someone's kid and that she gave it up for adoption.

Ken--could it be you?

Ken, I am also pasty with sideburns. I also love coffee. Write!

[usaberi]

ahh beautiful song the one in ending part. what is the name of the song? and singer?

[WolfRun59]

Ken-chan,

Anta, omoshiroi yatsu da na!

[ponyuponyu]

hahaha,,,,, it's a NEW GENRE !!!!

[ponyuponyu]

Hahahahahaha,,, it's a NEW GENRE !!!!!!!!!!!

[fypjason]

田中さん、頑張ってください！

Hope he finds his parents

[blickumblickum]

Thank you internet! Thank you Youtube! Thank you Ken-san!

[blickumblickum]

Thank you internet! Thank you Youtube. Thank you Ken-san!

[Vza004]

[11812842]

You are warrior! If I tried to find my parents the way you do, I would be broken and would give up. God bless!

[tofuinmypants]

gambatte ken! never give up hope! :)

[MRCAB]

[Eb00000]

EVERYBODY CHEACK IT OUT!

[aznfreakie]

'ken tanaka' is very talented. perfect japanese, good chinese and acting skills. lol

[aznfreakie]

こんにちわ。がんばってくだわい！

[PKNproductions]

Oh wow I always though this was a joke but now I realize that you're real. I hope you find your parents.

[roxasoblivion]

that guy is a legend there really needs to be more people like him in this world

[AutoRacingfan]

Ouchhh - im soo touched

Hope you will find your real father..

Will include it to my prayers ;)

[rundat]

lol i got good sperm

[CaptHowdy2648]

That guy was unexpectedly nice and understanding. I was kind of scared he was going to slam the door in your face for a minute. There needs to be more people like him around.

[appppppppple]

why? because he was black?

[CaptHowdy2648]

That guy was unexpectedly nice and understanding. I was kind of scared he was going to slam the door in your face for a minute. There needs to be more people like him around.

[BryantJ31]

ken tanaka has probally the best gimmick on you tube.(that has to be a fake acsent)

[iamnorwegian]

yeah, I'd like to see the two other houses you went to. Have you made a video of them already?

[jeishun]

That was a FUNNY ASS VIDEO.

They guy was cool he was so nice!

I don't believe there was only three smiths in LA?!?

[roxasoblivion]

he said only 3 with no answering phone so he could not leave a message

[acdc5320]

Wow your story is really touching. To imagine a person born in America but adopted by a Japanese family. Someone will write a book about this and I swear it will be a best-seller.

[silencioSLAP]

Your the best KEN!!!!!!!

[anarchistnation69]

Konichiwa, watashi Nick desu.

Good luck!

[talcomhosents]

oh man is this true? i thought it was kinda joke...sorry man

hope you find them! :)

[gahton21]

HAHAHAHHA!!!!!

[IzumiBrisingr]

omg its hard to believe these arent jokes

[trupnai640]

good luck!!

btw. what song is that at the end??

[Parmenides480BC]

you should go on TV, go down to a news station, and publicize as much as possible, make more people than just those on youtube aware of your attempts and you will increase your chances 100fold

[thekidthatcant]

Yeah, a few of your videos are generally depressing, but the videos like this where you meet nice people who actually speak and care about your story definitely give a positive light on your quest. Ganbatte ne!

[madaozeki]

These have to be the most brilliant videos on YouTube...

[TSirDiesAlot]

lol xD

[lyes28]

great! great! great!!!!you are great man!

[primerabbit]

GOOD LUCK!!!

[seh97001]

[thewhitebarrywhite]

the apartment guy was so good. a professional actor couldn't have played this better (jonathan smith, not tanaka-san. he's very real.)

[thewhitebarrywhite]

The guy at the apartment was so good. A professional actor couldn't have played this better (Jonathan Smith, not Tanaka-san, he's real.)

[bluejeansman22]

many people claim him to be acting, but if you'll notice even his face expressions and body language, look Japanese, shy and somewhat submissive. but he's awesome quite an anamoly though.

[tokyoronin]

No this is not real he is an actor named David Ury you can look him up on Youtube.

[Prototype87]

You remind me of Latka from taxi and I mean that in a good way.

Great vid.

Keep em coming.

[xMirax]

it is so funny and weird...the way that you talk...cos you're white...ii'm just being honest. However i really do hope that you find your parents...unless you already have seeing as how the video was posted about a yyear ago...but good luck anyways

[spankeriffic]

what a nice guy!

[blimp80]
