History

In the 5th generation class of Yoshimoto New Star Creation, Yoshimura and Tokui formed the kombi in 2000. Before their formation, Yoshimura had already been in 7 different units before and Tokui had been in 4, all of which were dissolved.

In 2005, Heisei Nobushi Kobushi formed an informal comedy group with Hiking Walking, Peace, and Ishibashi Hazama called La Golisters on the variety program Toryumon F.[4] Activities of La Golisters were infrequent as the group has not been active since 2010.

Heisei Nobushi Kobushi had a breakthrough in 2006 in the TV program Yarisugi Koji hosted by Koji Imada and Koji Higashino. Yoshimura's armpit neta gag was a huge success and brought the unit to popularity. In July of the same year, their personal live show at the LUMINE the Yoshimoto theater sold out in the first 5 minutes (around 500 tickets), the fastest in the theater's history.

Yoshimura in particular rose to popularity and is one of the most active comedians in television as of 2019. Tokui did not gain the same amount of traction as Yoshimura, and the unit gets more work as separate talents than together.
