Takeshi Mori (森 武史 or 森 たけし, Mori Takeshi, born 2 December 1959 in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese television announcer and works for Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation. After leaving Yomiuri TV, he will run a personal company "Mori chan".
He entered Yomiuri TV as a television announcer in 1983, and won the 1987 Silver Award from the Shingo-Ryūkōgo Taishō (lit. "Neologism-Buzzword Prize") with Jiro Shinbo for creating the buzzword neologism Nangiyanā (なんぎやなぁ) in response to the losing streak of the Hanshin Tigers during that time period.[1]
