How far can you go to get what you really want? Well, we have a Japanese man for you who spent fat stacks to “become a wolf.” Now, the same man has defended his decision. He says that he is “not a monster” and that he gets “free of human relationships” after putting on the suit. The man in the picture is Toru Ueda who is an engineer from Tokyo. His way of coping with the stress of modern life is by transforming into an incredibly realistic wolf.
Japanese man spends $23k to get a real-life wolf suit
Ueda says, “When I wear my costume I feel I’m no longer human. I’m free of human relationships. All kinds of troubles, related to work and other things – I can forget about them. When I look in the mirror, I see a wolf, and that is very moving. I’m not a werewolf — that’s a kind of monster, and I am not a monster.” The company describes the suit as, “Modeled on timber wolf, the complete suit turned out as a visually impactful reality.”
Toko told the media, “I made it a collie because it looks real when I put it on. My favourite is quadrupedal animals, especially cute ones. Among them, I thought that a big animal close to me would be good, considering that it would be a realistic model, so I decided to make it a dog. I met such a condition and made a collie, my favourite breed of dog.” A Zeppet employee also provided insight to the dos costume. They said, “In addition, we collect photographs taken from various angles so that the beautiful coat of the collie can be reproduced and devised so that the coat will flow naturally.” The employee also said that they spent a lot of time trying to get the perfect fit.
