Takashi Fujii (Japanese: 藤井隆, Fujii Takashi, born March 10, 1972 in Toyonaka, Osaka, Japan) is a male Japanese comedian and singer who belongs to the Japanese entertainment conglomerate Yoshimoto Kogyo and is the popular host of Matthew's Best Hit TV (as the character マシュー南, Mashū Minami or Matthew Minami) and various other related shows on TV Asahi, a major television network in Japan.
On May 7, 2005, he officially announced his intention to marry Otoha (乙葉), a Japanese idol, and they were married on July 30, 2005 at the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo, with an audience of 340 guests including many famous Japanese personalities and celebrities.
An established celebrity among Japanese television, Takashi Fujii's is most active as an actor and a comedic host.
As Matthew Minami, his trademark blonde wig and garish suits complement his effeminate but wacky personality. Apparently, his image is meant to parody a homosexual westerner.
In the western world, and particularly the United States, he is perhaps most famous for his appearance (as Matthew Minami, hosting his own show) with Bill Murray's character Bob Harris in the 2003 movie Lost in Translation.
Although Bill Murray has never been a guest, Matthew Minami actually hosts such a program, now called Matthew's Best Hit UV, and it is characterized by mindless banter and contests typical of many other Japanese shows. Largely consisting of musicians and popular Japanese talents, the show's guests are often subject to fierce competition by Matthew Minami himself. The character Matthew Minami also appears in a handful of programs and shorts related to Best Hit TV, with themes ranging as widely as cooking and kids.
Takashi Fujii is also a popular talent himself and appears frequently on many Japanese variety shows. He is considerably less flamboyant while appearing as himself, but his frequent seemingly random comments and odd gestures are all part of his signature performances. He has even made appearances in the U.S. and China showing off both his comedy and music.
Fujii Takashi is currently featured on the following programs (titles are loose translations):
Takashi Fujii has also made numerous other minor appearances as well as contributing his voice talent on various animated movies including 2004's Mind Game.
