Failed Attempt at Cosplay

Quote:

'Girl' at school was 39-year-old man

A Japanese man was arrested for trespassing this week after turning up at a high school dressed in a girl's uniform and a long wig, local police said.

Thirty-nine-year-old Tetsunori Nanpei told police he had bought the uniform over the internet and put it on to take a stroll near the school in Saitama, north of Tokyo, on Wednesday, the daily Asahi Shimbun said.

When students standing outside the gates started to scream at the sight of him, he dashed inside the school grounds, hoping to blend in with the crowds of teenagers, the paper said.

They also screamed, forcing the man to flee, losing his wig in the process. A school clerk pursued him and stopped him at a nearby riverbank, the paper said.

Police confirmed the arrest of the man in school uniform and wig but declined to give further details.

Source, Australian style...good to see Australia's on top of stories such as this!

Care to discuss, you weaboos? I'd ask for appropriate pictures, but then I'd have to reconsider placing this thread in the Sewers. And I don't want that 'cause a thread about an old Japanese guy and school girls can't go horribly awry, can it?

Can it?!

How ya doing, buddy?

Psh, crossdressing in Japan is nothing new. Just do a quick search for Ken Maeda (famous for mimicking Japanese pop singers), Gorie (amazingly straight, I believe), Ikko (apparently a former makeup/hair stylist who became popular), or Shingo Mama (infectiously cute with the kiddies). Images withheld, per request. Or rather, because I don't want to see them anymore.

The only difference between them and this guy? Apparently the lack of a hit Japanese pop song.

Oh, and the massive creepiness.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's really disturbing, yet funny at the same time.
I don't think Shingo Mama has gone out to a high school with the intent of "blending in," rather he was content with trying to steal a kiss from Gackt. This guy just sounds like a mental patient with only that level of detail.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Those crazy Japanese!

We Americans never see that kind of behavior!

How ya doing, buddy?

Gutted, he lost the wig.

I'd love to see pictures of this guy dressed up; I bet he'd look like a right goon.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I read this on my daily newspaper about two days ago (I suppose all newspapers would probably have their odd news these days).

Man, I wish they taped the scene.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
