Takeo Ischi (石井 健雄, Ishii Takeo, born May 3, 1947) is a Japanese yodeler active in Germany.
Biography
Ischi was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan.[1] In high school, he was a loner, but it was during this time that he first heard yodeling on the radio.[2] Following his father, Ischi went to university for mechanical engineering. In his spare time he became engrossed with the zither and the hammered dulcimer, and learned to play these instruments. Using Franzl Lang's records, he taught himself to yodel, and began performing on Japanese television. During a six-month period where he studied abroad in Germany,[2] Ischi went to Switzerland, where he sang at a beer hall in Zurich.[1] He soon started earning money from this. From there he sang in front of Lang, his idol, and Lang took him under his wing. He performed on television with Maria Hellwig, and after that became known in German language circles as the "Japanese yodeler".[citation needed]. Some[who?] have speculated that he is an extreme yodeler, most likely suggested in his hit "New Bibi Hendl" from 2011, in which the English narrator announces "And now we gonna take it to the top with some extreme yodeling with Takeo Ischi!". [3]
Ischi met his wife Henriette in 1981 and proposed to her three years later at an onsen (hot spring) in Japan, where he yodeled his proposal to her.[2] They married in 1985 and had five children, of which four sons named Maximilian, Michael, Andreas and Lukas, and one daughter named Julia.[4]
