This is a special presentation of the JM Archives. Today we feature an interview with a former Takeshi's Castle contestant who managed to win the one-million yen prize in episode 99 of the cult game show series. Hear the behind the scenes secrets of the show, how the winner spent his earnings, what 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano was like and his reaction to learning that Takeshi's Castle has been seen around the world. This interview was conducted in both english and Japanese. Our interpreter for the interview was Mr. Scott Trickey. Laurence Bourke helped provide translations. Takeshi's Castle is the property of the Tokyo Broadcasting System.

*Toru wishes to correct something that was said. Japan has 47 prefectures and not the 49 indicated in this interview.
