Apparently this character is popular enough that it was worthy of getting a Figuarts, just like how the longtime Downtown comedians got their own Figuarts as well(these guys are hilarious and you've probably seen some of the crazy tv challenges they're famous for on YouTube videos). I personally wouldn't mind Figuarts of the Three Stooges because they could utilize endless amounts of accessories. They could be a goldmine for Figuarts accessories packs if Bandai really ran with that idea.

Anyways, here's some website (I dunno Japanese. I just Google translate it) that shows many more personalities Robert Akiyama plays: https://creatorsfile.com/

Very interesting. So the website I came across is either fake or they're selling clothes under the Yoko Fuchigami brand which wouldn’t be unheard of, if the comedian is famous enough it would make sense to sell stuff under their popular pseudonyms.

It's weird that I couldn't find anything else related though, the Downtown guys I at least found videos and other stuff of.

Anyways, thanks for clearing that up, much appreciated.
