A Japanese man who spent a fortune weeks ago converting himself into a dog due to his extreme commitment to cosplay, has chosen to reveal the secrets behind his unconventional life.
The man/dog who calls himself “Toco,” achieved internet notoriety after spending a whopping $14,000 on a custom-made hyper-realistic collie costume he wears in public to help him realize his dream of “becoming an animal” and posted the results on his YouTube channel.
“The reason I chose a collie dog breed specifically is primarily because I like raising them,” the doggelgänger said to the NY Post.
“Secondly, because if it wasn’t a naturally large size breed, it wouldn’t look unnaturally disproportionate when worn by someone as a costume.”
Toco added that the collie’s long fur helps “camouflage the human form discreetly.”
And after achieving his doggie dream, Toco now has another wish — to become a movie star.
“I think it would be great if I were able to use my skills and get the opportunity to appear as a dog in a movie,” he yelped.
The Japanese native also revealed that he long dreamed of living as an animal, but could never muster up the courage in the past.
