BIO - ATSUSHI OGATA
Born in Japan and raised partly in the U.S., Atsushi has worked in the U.S., Europe and Japan, as a film director, screenwriter, artist, actor and comedian. Graduate of Harvard and MIT, Atsushi’s art videos have screened world-wide. His screenplays received funding in Germany and the Netherlands, and he appeared weekly as a comedian on Dutch TV. His earlier film “Eternally Yours” was selected for the New Directors/New Films at the MoMA and Lincoln Center, New York, and his theatrical feature “Cast Me If You Can” was screened on airlines, TV and streamed digitally on iTunes in North America. Atsushi has then expanded into web series with his one-man comedy video series “Yukata Cowboy” ® and its spin-offs, winning awards world-wide.
Atsushi performs stand up at the Broadway Comedy Club in NY, Comedy Chateau LA (“Best of Fest”), Burbank Comedy Fest, Tokyo Comedy Bar and produces and performs in “World Comedy In NYC” shows at Broadway. He also produced and performed "0% Local: Atsushi, Valeria & Friends: Yukata Cowboy - Strangers in Strangeland" at Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
Atsushi’s comedy tends to be semi-autobiographical stories and observations inspired from his life of living around the world as a perpetual “outsider.”
