Japanese jokester Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura took to the stage in his robe, and he wasn’t planning on singing.

The show’s judges, newcomer Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon were wondering what he was going to do.

So Tonikaku stripped down to his underwear.

“Don’t worry, I’m wearing…!”

That’s a line you’re going to hear over and over again, and be thankful you do.

Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden enjoyed this act more than Bruno and Simon too.

Striking up a conversation with Alesha Dixon, the Japanese comedian went on about how he ‘loved tea’, saying he’d flown to the other side of the world to chase his dreams just to perform for the Royal Family.

But when Tonikaku started to undo his robe, Bruno Tonioli started saying ‘no,no,no’, with Alesha holding a sheet of paper in front of her face.

“Don’t worry, I’m wearing pants!”

“But I can pose naked!” he bragged.

Alesha began shaking her head, alarmed and advising him not to, but Toni carried on with the announcement of his first ‘naked pose’.

After a funny dance, the music stopped and Tonikaku held his pose, his left leg bent in the air as he covered his underwear, creating the illusion that he was very naked on stage.

The audience and the judges now knew what the funny Japanese man was about.

“Don’t worry, I’m wearing…!”

“Pants!” Holden shouted in her imitation of a Japanese accent.

Tonikaku then went ahead with his act, showing off a ‘horse racing’ naked pose, then a James Bond one complete with music, and then finishing it all off with the Spie Girls and their hit, “Wannabe'”

All those dancing and all those poses, with a huge grin on his face!

“Don’t worry, I’m wearing…!”

“Pants!” shouted Amanda, Alesha, and the audience.

Toni got a standing ovation!

But what did the four judges have to say?

“You might be my favourite contestant of the series so far.” says Alesha.

Bruno joked that Tonikaku “definitely had balls”, to which the Japanese comedian smiled in agreement.

Amanda then added, “Tony you are absolutely unique and it felt absolutely Britain’s Got Talent. I loved it.”

Then all eyes were on Simon, who was laughing along during the act.

He said Toni was, “honestly the funniest contestant we’ve had on all year.”

Then the comedian proposed a Simon pose to which the judge quickly said no.

But Simon continued saying, “You are really, really funny and original, you are unbelievable and you are brilliant. I absolutely love you.”

That’s after Tonikaku asked Simon if he loved him!

He’s got everyone laughing even when he’s receiving his verdict.

“Unbelievable.” Toni responded with a goofy expression on his face.

And take note that all this happened while he was still wearing his “pants!”

Tonikaku did receive 4 Yeses from the judges so we will be seeing more (or less) of this guy, and that’s a good thing.

You’ll be laughing in your seat so watch this hilarious act below!
