You know, after watching many of his videos, I am more used to the accent and mannerisms juxtaposed, and I think that there may, in fact, be something wrong with this man.
@PortalStillAlive he was adopted by a Japanese family from Shimane as a little boy. as his channel name suggests, he's looking for his original parents in LA- where his show is mostly shot.
Great work on the harmonica! ok, i gotta admit, japanese accent sounds kinda wrong at times, but yea, its just another accent.
this is what i would like to know... did he pronounce it purpose to sound more like "fucked" or something... reminds me of lesson number 3 of his.. which is really cheeky... fua-kin thingy...
since u seem to be from canada your english and french is definitely better than mine and i don´t speak indonesian either but i bet my german is better :P
my point was only that you insulted him for sharing his ideas and facts and whatever with us in a language that doesn´t seem to be really easy for him to speak, which i think is just unfair and childish...
so and now post a vid of you speaking all the four languages you mentioned in your comment, i´ll wait for it...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i find it commendable how you defend this dude... I am in youtube to amuse myself and not to find enlightenment... He still sounds retarded in Japanese or English...I have sounded retarded too in my time lol...especially after a few Vodka tonic...
Don't take it so seriously dude... I have nothing to prove. I like the girl he speaks to though. She is really hot...
u can tell if someone had japanese as there first language, or atleast before english by the way he/she pauses to think of wat to say, he says, ummmm and almost all of the time, natives say etoooo or sou desu nee depending on the situation
do u even hang out with japanese people? when they speak english they really do try to use umm instead of etoo which explains why he doesnt use etoooo much
back in 1894, a little girl named Madeline Crothe was skipping through the woods when a mysterious man in black snatched her. He brought her to his house, tourtered her, and starved her to death. Send this to 6 videos in the next 30 min. and you will be safe, but if you don't... at approximately 1: 34 tonight you will wake up to see an aneorexic child holding a bloodied up knife and she will kill you
Ken Tanaka... is a character that was made by David Ury who was raised in Sonoma, California and began his acting career on Japanese television as the "zany Japanese speaking foreigner". David learned to speak Japaense fluently while at college in Tokyo and currently translates and writes English adaptations for Japanese comics (manga). He is 100% American.
he is from america , was adopted in Japan , and lived there for much time i guess , and any japanese is using that accent , they have a japanese formed language so when they try to speak english , its pretty hard , AND SORRY KEN IF I SAID SOMETHING WRONG :D
Sorry Ken?! Are you serious??!! It is true.... another sucker born every day!! You seriously think a Japanese family will adopt a foreign baby? You have no idea!! Come live in Japan and learn the culture, educate yourself. This is a big FAKE story. Get real, and don't be foolish by passing on such lies. No.... Japanese (like me) do not have such stupid accents.
dont u understand , u are stupid S T U P I D , read his channel then comment , if u look at him he looks american , i dont have to say anymore u stupid (i am defending him) . (dot)
Please, your embarrassing yourself. This mans real name is David Ury, and he's an actor. He's AN ACTOR. He's been on several shows, including heroes. AGAIN, FOR ALL THE RETARDS OUT THERE - his name is David Ury and he's an ACTOR.
just researched about that and on one side u right so i am swallowing my previous words but i still belive that he wants to find his parents (and i hope he is not lying at all about everything he said)
Sad because if there happens to be real guy raised in japan who actually talks in this manner and by coincidence is adopted, (could happen) people will completely ignore him after this.

In his profile it says his parents are Jonathan and Linda Smith. John and Linda are 2 of the most common first names in North America, and Smith is 1 of the most common last names. I don't trust this guy. I may be white but this still offends me.
