Yo Oizumi（大泉 洋 Ōizumi Yō, born on April 3, 1973) is a TV personality and a stage actor based in Hokkaido. He was born in Ebetsu, Hokkaido and has been living in Sapporo since 1984.
He first made a name in Hokkaido-based TV variety series called “Suiyo Doudeshow”(How do you like Wednesday?) and has been actively appearing on various media programs in Hokkaido since then. He is also a member of a 5-piece drama group called TEAM-NACS formed when they were at Hokkai Gakuen university. TEAM-NACS had run their first national tour with thieir 11th original play called “COMPOSER” during spring and summer in 2005.
Along with increasing popularity of “Suiyo Doudeshow”(How do you like Wednesday?) and TEAM-NACS not only within Hokkaido but throughout Japan over the past years, he has been expanding his works in various fields by appearing on nationwide TV dramas and films, doing character voices on animated films and releasing CDs as a singer.
In such different works, he shows amazing talents in writing (a novel, a drama and a song), painting, mimicking and talking (like a machine gun) etc except cooking (he might be good at it, but often takes unexpectedly long time to serve).
He calls his fans "Koneko chan tachi", which means kittens in Japanese, although he doesn't like cats.
