The pair, along with their celebrity pals, hit up the "NO GOOD TV" 'NO GOOD TV "HALLOWEEN" FES' event, where everyone went all out with their cosplay. Takayuki Yamada absolutely nailed his transformation into Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki, complete with a full white beard, black-rimmed glasses, a blue plaid shirt, and a light beige apron – the resemblance was uncanny!
