Iyami has had a main character-level presence since his days in "Osomatsu-kun." His presence is so great that he stands out more than the sextuplets, and although his appearances are more subdued in "Osomatsu-san," he still plays a major role. Money issues are always plaguing Iyami! In this article, we'll show you how Iyami gets involved with the sextuplets and reveal his evil schemes!
Iyami was a man of character and kindness
Those familiar with the "Osomatsu-kun" era may have a strong image of Iyami as a nasty guy, but when he first appeared in the second episode of "Osomatsu-san," he responded to the sextuplets' request with wide eyes and full of manliness, offering to do whatever he could.
Iyami is far more sensible than the sextuplets.
After drinking alcohol while it's still light outside and losing all their money, the sextuplets happen upon Iyami and ask him for a loan. Iyami doesn't immediately refuse, and when he asks what they're going to spend it on, Osomatsu makes a gesture of pachinko...and Iyami responds with a stern lecture.
Unlike the sextuplets, Iyami has a job.
Although Iyami has been constantly changing jobs and even been unemployed for a while, he still manages to earn money by doing shady jobs. Incidentally, his first job was in "recruiting." He picks up the sextuplets, who are looking for work, and takes them to a decidedly unethical workplace known as the "Black Factory."
Iyami is constantly practicing his signature "Sheh!" pose.
When most people think of Iyami, the first thing that comes to mind is his "Sheh!" pose. Although he casually repeats the "Sheeee!" remark, that reaction and pose are actually practiced, and Todomatsu sees him practicing with Dekapan at the beginning of Episode 4.
Iyami Has Actually Never Been to France
Iyami constantly boasts that he "returned from France," but he was neither born nor raised there. In fact, he's a pathetic man who has never even been to France and simply dreams of it.
Iyami broke his spine after overdoing his "Sheh!" slogan so hard.
After losing his job, Iyami goes to the ward office and asks that he and Dayoon be made the mascots for the town. There, he performs his "Sheh!" slogan, claiming to have imitated everyone from Oh, Nagashima, and the Beatles to Godzilla. However, due to the lack of reaction from those around him, he ended up breaking his spine and ribs.
Iyami's transformed body turns out to be a stunning beauty!?
Iyami and his friends cross-dress to earn money as rental girlfriends. However, their pitiful appearances don't attract any customers, so they decide to transform into women with a "beauty potion" created by Dekapan. Iyami transforms into a stunningly beautiful blonde with a stunning figure, and for some reason, even her voice becomes completely beautiful. He uses this preparation to extract money from the sextuplets...
Iyami Has No Talent for Horse Racing
Iyami arrives at the racetrack and first places a bet on a tooth-related race. His first bet, "Deep Implant," is too fast and vanishes through time and space. His next bet, "Maeva Top Gun," explodes just before the finish line. His last bet, "Oguri Deppa," takes first place, but is disqualified after the finish line when it's revealed to be a centaur.
Iyami's Teeth Were Made of Rare Metal!
He was so hungry that he mistook a rock for a boiled egg, bit into it with all his might, and his prized front tooth fell off... However, when Dekapan, who happened to be passing by, examined the tooth, he discovered that it was made of a rare metal, worth a whopping 100 million yen! His teeth, dubbed "Iyametal," transformed Iyami from unemployed to a millionaire. (Although temporarily...)
Iyami finally makes it to his dream destination, France.
Iyami has become extremely wealthy and famous around the world. He even receives a message from the French president. He offers to provide earplugs and is granted permanent residency in France, which he immediately agrees to. However, by this time, Iyami is already missing one front tooth. Of course, there's no way he could make it all the way to France with his front teeth intact...
Summary of Iyami's Life
Iyami has a lot of ups and downs, from showing a loyal face to deceiving the sextuplets for money, to becoming incredibly poor to becoming incredibly rich. He seems to be living the toughest life in the series. It will be exciting to see what other tough things await Iyami!
