In a typical manzai I’m pretty sure Tanaka was boke and Endo was tsukkomi but during the show it seems that Matsumoto is so overwhelmingly boke, alongside Yamazaki, that the show doesn’t really call for a third. Does anyone call Tanaka a tsukkomi while on Gaki or is there a third term where you’re neither boke nor straight man? Endo seems to be quite flexible too, his ho-ho-hoi and pteredon as well as his lusting for Hamada episodes show he can play an amazing boke but he also seems to fill the tsukkomi role with Hamada during the batsu games.

Then I have a question regarding License, who I have never seen be either Tsukommi nor Boke, they are more like spares for announcements and stuff, is there a term for their style?
