The History and Lore of the Object
Fumihiko Takaba is a former failed stand-up comedian who became an impromptu exorcist during the gruesome Culling Game. Despite his cruel lack of martial experience, he possesses an innate spell that is absolutely terrifying: “Comedy” (Comedian). This almost divine technique allows him to instantly materialise in the real world anything he deems genuinely funny, completely ignoring the physical laws of space, time and logic. Egocentric but with a big heart, his categorical refusal to kill his opponents and his obsessive quest for laughter make him as zany an ally as he is formidable in the face of plagues.
This figure showcases the character’s unique, comic gestures, enhanced by the meticulous, expressive finishes for which Banpresto is renowned. It faithfully reproduces his emblematic asymmetric stage costume – revealing half his torso – and his laugh-out-loud theatrical expression. It’s a striking snapshot of his confident façade and his genius for street performance.
