The word "PIROKI" does not mean anything. It  is named after his own first name "Hiroki". It is very hard to describe the subtle difference in nuance in English but the word "PIROKI" sounds a little bit more "nonsense" or "funny" than his own name "Hiroki".

How do you describe Piroki's own performing style? One thing which can be certainly noted by all the people who are carried away by his performance without any doubt, is that he makes people happy by torturing himself. Sounds strange?

Happiness is something relatively evaluated and appreciated. In other words, you feel happy (relatively) by having a look at others' unhappiness. He always attacks himself, not the people coming to see his performance. He describes himself as the most unhappy person in the world.

Let me introduce you the typical one;

- A girlfriend of mine called me to invite me to her house saying "All will be away in my house next Sunday. Why don't you come?!"
- I was so fascinated by the invitation. I was so pleased and excited to visit her house.
- "ping-pong... ping-pong... ping-pong... ping-pong..."
- "Yes, certainly there aren't anybody!!"

Usually, by telling an unhappy story, you can make people sad. But in most of the Piroki's cases, the unhappy stories are so self-torturous and so unrealistic that you cannot help laughing. It is strange enough but this is the well-established Piroki's own style.

It is really a shame that his own world cannot be precisely described in English. You should start learning Japanese conversation to appreciate Piroki's own world!
