, also known simply as Ameagari, was a Japanese comedy duo (kombi) consisting of Hiroyuki Miyasako (Japanese: 宮迫 博之) and Tōru Hotohara (Japanese: 蛍原 徹). They are from Osaka and, like most other comedians from the Kansai region, are employed by Yoshimoto Kogyo. The duo was created in 1989 and disbanded on Aug 17, 2021.[1]
Their kombi name translates to Post-Rain Suicide Squad. Their namesake was a concert tour by RC Succession (a favorite rock band of theirs) that occurred while they were both students at Yoshimoto Kogyo: New Star Creation. It was based on one of their singles, "Ameagari no Yozora ni" ("To the Post-Rain Nightsky").
They are friends with Downtown and are common guests on their show, Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!, usually when extra members are needed for a game. Both kombi are regulars on LINCOLN.
