Nippon TV quiz special features Ryohei Abe and QuizKnock
Nippon TV will broadcast a special edition of the quiz program ‘Quiz! Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Can You Win 10 Million Yen! SP’ on September 24. The competition features three teams vying for a 10 million yen prize.
Snow Man member Ryohei Abe is returning to the show to seek revenge after narrowly missing the grand prize in two previous appearances. Abe, a graduate of Sophia University and a certified weather forecaster, reportedly prepared by creating his own final questions to study.
The group Monaki, consisting of Oyone, Jin, Sakai Jr., and Kenken, will also compete. The team includes highly educated members, such as Sakai Jr., who completed graduate studies at Chiba University with honors and holds a first-class architect license.
Representing QuizKnock, Fukura P will participate alongside the twin brothers Mon and Gon Higashi. The Higashi brothers are notable quiz players; Mon was ranked first in Japan for student rapid-fire quizzes, and Gon is a graduate of the University of Tokyo.
