Official Santa Clause of Japan

Mr. Paradise Yamamoto is the only certified Santa Clause of Japan, and the first Asian Santa to be certified by Greenland International Santa Claus Association, where Santa lives, of course. I would have put a link to the above Association, but couldn't locate it...

Aside from being the official santa, Mr. P. Yamamoto is known for few other "talents".
On the Telly he is a well-known comedian who has made a name of himself with the Mambo-dancing routine. He is also the official King of Gyoza, and has a side business of growing Mam-bonsai... I guess in Japan, Santa needs jobs on the side.
