# Hiromi (comedian)

Hiromi (ヒロミ, born 13 February 1965, in Hachiōji, Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese comedian, television presenter, radio personality, actor, businessman, triathlete, and racing driver. He is the president of Be Company. His full name is Hiromi Kozono (小園 浩己, Kozono Hiromi).
While Be Company is from Production Jin Riki-sha, Hiromi is represented with Tanabe Agency and later Production No Title since 2008. His wife is singer Iyo Matsumoto. Hiromi's eldest son is tarento Ryo Kozono.

## Auto racing

Hiromi made his debut in the Super GT championship in 2004 as one of Team Gaikokuya's drivers in the GT300 class, partnering former GT300 champion Yoshimi Ishibashi in the team's Porsche 911 GT3. He failed to score a championship point and secured a best finish of 18th place in the fifth round at Twin Ring Motegi. Two years later in February 2006, he announced his return to the series as part of the 06H Project, driving one of Jim Gainer [ja]'s Ferrari 360 in the GT300 class for the full-season. He once again failed to score a championship point in 2006, scoring a best finish of 14th in the fourth round at Sepang.
