Cha Katō (加藤 茶, Katō Cha) (born 1 March 1943), also known as Kato-chan, is a male Japanese comedian and actor. His real name is Hideyuki Katō (加藤英文). Cha is one of the members of The Drifters and plays drums. His work with Ken Shimura, another Drifter, is well known in Japan. Many in Japan were surprised when it was announced in 2011 that he had married a woman 45 years younger than him (making her 22 years old).[citation needed]
