Jason David Danielson (born April 9, 1986), known professionally as Atsugiri Jason (厚切りジェイソン), is an American comedian based in Japan and associated with Watanabe Entertainment.
Danielson's comedic narrative is based on his confusion with kanji, ending with the punchline, "Why Japanese people?!"
Danielson was born in Michigan, United States.
He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign as an engineering major and traveled to Japan for a one-year internship in 2005 to develop English speech recognition software.
He earned a bachelor's degree and master's degree in computer science.
While in Japan in 2005, Danielson became interested in Japanese comedy after watching The God of Entertainment.
Two years after he returned to Japan, he attended a show held by the Japanese comedy duo Xabungle (comedy duo), where he became acquainted with Ayumu Kato and was introduced to his agency, Watanabe Entertainment.
He then trained at the agency's program, Watanabe Comedy School.
Danielson's comedy routines based on his confusion with kanji, which he writes on a board behind him and ends with him yelling, "Why Japanese people?!"
He initially considered focusing on political criticism like American comedians but did not feel that it would be accepted by a Japanese audience.
Danielson's stage name, Atsugiri, meaning "thick-sliced" in Japanese, originated from Atsugi, where he was living at the time, and because his chest is thick.
In 2007, Danielson married a Japanese woman, who he met when he first went to Japan in 2005, with their wedding ceremony held in the United States.
In 2011, Danielson returned to Japan and formed the Japanese branch of an IT company he worked for in Chicago.
Along with his career in entertainment, Danielson continues to work full-time at the IT company.
After only four months of training, in October 2014, he made his first television appearance on R-1 Grand Prix 2015, where he attracted media attention for being the first non-Japanese finalist competing in the history of the show.
Shortly after the show ended, Danielson appeared in a web-exclusive video featured as part of the advertising campaign of Nissin Foods' Nissin Yakisoba UFO.
On November 8, 2015, Danielson released his first book, Nihon no Mina-san ni Otsutaeshitai 48 no Why.
In February 2016, Danielson was announced as a host of the educational program ''Why?
Programming'', which was broadcast on NHK from March 21 to 25, 2016.
On December 14, 2016, Danielson released his second book, Jason Shiki Eigo Training: Oboenai Eiei Tango 400.
For the book's promotional event, he led an English class for 200 people, during which he stated that he was retiring his "Why Japanese people?!"
