KeyaBINGO hosts Sandwichman raising money for East Japan Earthquake orphans

The hosts of KeyaBINGO, the comedy duo Sandwichman (Date Mikio and Tomizawa Takeshi) are from Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, one of the places hard-hit by the devastating East Japan Earthquake that happened exactly six years ago today.

Since then, they have been active in earthquake relief, particularly in raising funds to support children whose parents were lost in the earthquake and tsunami.

Date (left) and Tomizawa recently passed cheques totalling 6.65 million yen (~$65,000) to the governor of Fukushima Prefecture for that purpose. He gave them a gift of Fukushima strawberries.
 

This brings the total of money they have raised for earthquake relief and reconstruction in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures to over 400 million yen (~$4 million).
