A Japanese man is going viral after spending more than $15,000 on a hyper realistic costume, so that he could fulfil his lifelong dream of becoming a dog. One of the clips has more than six lakh views on YouTube. “I made it a collie [dog breed] because it looks real when I put it on,” canine cosplayer Toko-San said. For the furry getup, he paid Zeppet—a company that makes costumes for TV commercials and films—a whopping $15,709 (Rs 12 lakh). The final product took 40 days and multiple revisions to create.

Describing his inspiration for becoming his own best friend, Toko-San said, “My favourite are quadruped 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.” Toko-San said he decided on a collie costume because its long hair can “mislead the human figure” and not to mention that these herding pooches happen to be his favourite breed of dog.
