Bike Kawasaki Bike (occasionally shortened to BKB) is the stage name of Fumitaka Kawasaki, a Japanese comedian, actor, hairdresser, YouTuber, and novelist. He is best known for being the comedian who had introduced the two members of manzai duo Wagyu to each other, and have remained friends even after their breakup. Kawasaki was the host of "Houkago BuKatsu-Bu", a twice-monthly 15-minute-long variety show starring the members of idol group NMB48, the Namba, Osaka branch of AKB48. Each episode would feature a phrase from Kawasaki, that, when abbreviated, would spell "BKB". Though Kawasaki's stage name originates from the motorcycle manufacturer he shares a name with, he has noted his signature accessories of a bandanna and sunglasses had originated from biker culture in the United States, citing Harley-Davidson riders as inspiration.
