Tani Kei
- Name: Tani Kei
- Native name: 谷啓
- Also Known as: たに けい, 渡部泰雄
- Nationality: Japanese
- Gender: Male
- Born: February 22, 1932
- Died: September 11, 2010
He quit university and joined the "City Slickers" in 1953, and in 1956, he joined the comic-jazz band "The Crazy Cats", with whom he gained fame by appearing in various variety shows.
Some of his nonsense one-word gags, such as "gachon" became buzzwords imitated throughout the nation.
His real name was Watanabe Yasuo, but his stage name, especially with the Japanese name order "Tani Kei", was based on a pun on the name Danny Kaye.
He died of a brain contusion on September 11, 2010, after falling down the stairs in his Mitaka home.
