he excelled at impersonations when she was a student, and She hit upon one idea that wear Evangelion cosplay and do a commedy show (Manzai).

asianbeat(ab)：How did you intend to be an commedian??

Sakura-Saki Inagaki（Inagaki）：At first I entered to Yoshimoto to become actress, but staff member invited me to be an commedian. That's reason I started to be an ommedian. Now I have purpose in life this job.

ab：Why did you think that you wear cosplay of "Asuka.Langley.Soryu"?

Inagaki：In fact I was not cosplayer before. When I was invited to radio recording of "Moekei",producer asked me to make "Manzai" show for customers of "Otaku".Actually I didn't know "Moekei" very much,
but From the first I love Evangelion and I used to excell at impersonations. So That's my reason why I started cosplay.

ab：I think there is the person who haven't watched Evangelion yet in reader, What do you appeal to Evangelion?

Inagaki：Well, It takes around 3 hours, is it all right? i think there are many people lose their life because They don't know Evangelion very much.
Evangelion has various aspects to appeal.
Of course story is great,Especially for me I like their battle scene and a dramatic scene, and how to use music and direction no other animation has.
The extraction of this animation was so fast I could sympathized atg that time. That's why I rapidly fell into Evangelion when I was junior high.

I'm trying to become widely known to common people.

ab：Who is your special commedian you are affected?

Inagaki：I have many elder coomedian i respect... In fact I have no idea how to do Manzai show when I did it at first time.
I saw "Daian" and "Kirin"'s DVD, I was studying for a test their an organization of their joke material and wrote down on paper!
And I bought DVD box set of "Dorifu","Yasushi-kiyoshi" and I watched many times.

ab：What Do you mind that you make joke material? ?

Inagaki：When after I made joke material of Evangelion I always try to make them watch Evangelion atleast one time to make customer enjoy the show.
So I always do remake joke material to do best show.

ab：Certainly... Everybody don't know what Evangelion is do they?

Inagaki：That's right. When I had a parter before Our show was formed even I said starnge thing. But now i'm doing myself so I came up against wall. I thought if I said something maniac thing Everybody don't laugh it!! So I try various things for example, when I have to work at mall I think hard to make especially family laugh.
When I do my joke material for my core-fan i do what I want to do but, I'm trying to use different joke material of evangelion to make them easier to follow.
