Ninety-Nine (or Nai Nai) is a Japanese comedy duo from Osaka consisting of Takashi Okamura and Hiroyuki Yabe. Ninety-nine was formed in 1990 and in three years won the ABC Owarai Gran Prix competition’s New Talent Prize. The next year, Ninety-Nine hosted their first on-air show “Ninety-Nine All Night Nippon,” which is still aired today. They are almost an institution with their own brand of comedy and skits.
