Over the weekend we reported on the bizarre case of the 55-year-old lecturer found completely naked on the campus of Taisho University, where he worked. It was at 3pm that students stumbled across the man in a corridor without any clothes on.
Then there were few details so we could only speculate...
Now the truth has emerged and boy, is it good!
Media reports are now running stories explaining that the unnamed man, who has since resigned, was a part-time computer science lecturer who had taught at the college for a decade.
Why was he wandering the campus without his ...
We're a bit late with this but we love it.
Live2D Euclid is a system created by Live2D to animate characters in a rich 3D environment.
Reported by the reliable chaps at DigInfo, the technology allows you to interact with 2D illustrations in a 3D space.
Of course, the demo is an anime girl character!
Live 2D models can be animated and moved freely, while retaining the defining characteristics of the original illustrations, which are difficult to reproduce with regular 3D models. Due to this unique feature, Live2D has been used in over 100 commercial products since its release ...
A 55-year-old adjunct professor at Taisho University, a private college in the Sugamo area of north Tokyo, has resigned for stripping off on campus.
The university announced that one of its faculty staff has performed an act that was "counter to public morals" at around 3pm on January 8th.
The unnamed lecturer was swiftly taken into care by his colleagues. He was then apparently very repentant and handed in his resignation the same day.
What the hell happened? Why would a teacher at a respectable Tokyo college do such a thing? If this was Kabukicho, it would be business as usual -- ...
This Monday it's Coming-of-Age Day in Japan. On top of being a national holiday for everyone, if you are turning 20 you get to dress up in a kimono and attend a ceremony where you become a legal adult.
Asagaya Loft A has its own take on the rite of passage, though.
While officially the coming-of-age ceremonies are known as seijin-shiki (成人式), Asagaya Loft A is holding an event named the same but with a different Kanji. The seijin-shiki this time is 性人式, literally meaning "sexual person ceremony." When written with those characters, it's slang for a swingers' party (and adds a ...
The BBC has weighed in on the whole "Is-manga-child-porn?" argument with an online article and radio show with the balanced headline: "Why hasn't Japan banned child-porn comics?"?
James Fletcher reports from Tokyo on this now slightly tired issue.
Posters of elfin-faced, doe-eyed cartoon heroines, many of them scantily clad and impossibly proportioned, turn the cavernous space into a riot of colour.
We stop at one table where the covers on display feature two topless girls. To my eyes they look to be in their early or pre-teens, and the stories show them engaged in explicit ...
Baymax protects the young male protagonist in Disney's Big Hero 6 but these are some heroes we'd like to protect ourselves. And they certainly live up to the "inflatable" bounce of the big-screen animated character.
Tenga, currently in a frenzy of publicity for its tenth anniversary celebrations, went a big cheeky and decided to decorate a Tenga Egg (white, of course) with some eyes... and then voilà, you have Baymax.
Pretty similar, huh?
And then sexy cosplayer Saku, who has a mighty fine pair of assets, decided to put Baymax's eyes on her chest. The effect was to highlight ...
What happens when otaku ask the gods for good fortune for the year ahead?
Ita-ema, that's what.
These are the ema plaques, usually hung on boards at Shinto shrines in Japan to ask for fortune in work, love or study, but here with a very moe twist. It is common to decorate a plaque with a handwritten message and perhaps a little illustration, but we think these worshippers are revealing their true religious idols.
These "Ita-ema" have been appearing at Kanda Myojin Shrine in east Tokyo (and elsewhere) since a few years ago, getting more numerous and inventive with each New ...
Be careful. With some prudent cropping, it's easy to be deceived.
We've all be in one of those sketchy clubs and thought that girl in the corner looked hot, only to be disappointed when our hands went for a fondle in the taxi on the way to a hotel. We've all been there, right?
Anyway, Japanese cross-dressers (josou) have been demonstrating just how hot they look with some careful framing. A photo from the mouth down can be surprisingly deceptive!
See what we ...
