What's the name of the caucasian TV host in Japan?

Question:


I saw him on TV briefly... he's a white guy and hosts a talk show or game show in Japan. He speaks fluent Japanese obviously.

Answer:


There are many caucasian "talents" on Japanese TV shows.
But a few of them have (or had) their own programs as a host.

Peter Barakan and Patrick Harlan are two of them.
Neither of them were born in Japan, but their capabilities in Japanese language are just amazing!
They are mainly working with NHK. Check them out.

Although this is not an NHK program, you can enjoy their rare encounter and conversation (in English, though).
