Sasuga Brothers
The Sasuga Brothers (流石兄弟, Sasuga Kyōdai) are two AA characters, derived from Fuun, who act as a computer-themed manzai. They first appeared in 2channel's /mona/ board on September 7, 2002.1) In a way, the two can be seen as a precursor to Yaruo and Yaranaio.
During the routine, their usual punchline is “sasuga da yona onera” (流石だよな俺ら), often translated to “as expected of us”, and they're commonly seen with Fujitsu's FMV laptop by default,2) but the 'brand' can easily be changed to whatever the artisan sees fit.

The character on the left is Anija, while the character on the right is Otoja. While they may look similar at first glance, their noses and left eye are different. Every character has '-ja' (~者) in their name, which is a weird Japanese suffix for a 'person', 'profession', or 'role'. Most of their 'relevant' cast members are mentioned below, but the extended family is mentioned later in this article, which isn't very useful.
