Kasino (comedian)

Kasino Hadiwibowo (15 September 1950 – 18 December 1997), commonly called as Kasino Warkop, was an Indonesian actor and comedian who was a member of the comedy group Warkop.

Early life

Kasino was born in Gombong, Kebumen, Central Java, to Notopramono and Kasiyem. During his youth, he had to move around because he followed his father, who was an employee at PNKA (now PT. KAI). Initially, he attended SD Budi Utomo, Jakarta, and continued to SMP Negeri 51, Jakarta. When he was in high school, he followed his father who was assigned to Cirebon and attended SMA Negeri 2 Cirebon before finally moving to SMA Negeri 22 Jakarta until he graduated. Kasino then continued his education at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Commerce Administration, University of Indonesia.

The presence of Kasino with the Warkop group provides a breath of fresh air for the Indonesian comedy entertainment business. The Warkop group represents a generation of educated comedians, who have a new characteristic in comedy. Career in the film they pioneered in the late 1970s skyrocketed. In the film Maju Kena Mundur Kena, the Warkop trio are among the highest-paid actors in Indonesia.

When he was a student, Kasino spent a lot of time on mountain slopes with the University of Indonesia Nature Lovers Student Group (Mapala UI), with Dono and Nanu.

Death

Kasino's health started to deteriorate in November 1996. While attending an event in Bandung, he suddenly lost consciousness and was promptly taken to Bandung Adventist Hospital. The results of the X-ray examination conducted by the doctor showed evidence of tumor symptoms in the brain, and Kasino was advised to undergo chemotherapy. Kasino's daughter, Hanna, speculated that her father's tumor probably originated from a mountain biking accident that had occurred a few years earlier. As a result of the chemotherapy treatment, Kasino was unable to participate in the Warkop DKI TV series, and the script was solely focused on Dono and Indro. In 1997, Kasino experienced fluctuations in his health but remained undeterred. He made a brief appearance in the Warkop DKI series, wearing a wig to conceal the baldness caused by the chemotherapy process. In November 1997, Kasino's health deteriorated once again, and he was admitted to Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. After undergoing treatment for nearly a month, Kasino passed away on December 18, 1997, following a year of battling a brain tumor. At the time of his passing, Kasino was 47 years old. His body was laid to rest in Tajur Halang, Bogor Regency.
