The man with the goldfish earrings

You may stumble across this merry old man if you walk around Tokyo, especially in the Harajuku district.

Ojisan used to be a postman but he always wanted to be an actor and be in the center of attention. As an opportunity to become a professional entertainer never emerged, he decided to claim the spotlight after he retired. These days he walks around dressed as you can see in the photos, wearing goldfish in plastic bottles as earrings and oversized funny hats and tourists just can’t help but take photos of Ojisan, as memorabilia.

    There are thousand ways to draw attention but I personally find it stupid. He has way passed his “mid life crisis” but guess he does not want to grow old graciously?!

    Idiot way to treat animals as a Hello Kitty dolls. This man can not make difference bethween animals and dollheads- this is true with most of the humankind.

  4. Leave the poor guy alone. He’s obviously daft but there are far worse things he could be doing with his (insane) time. The goldfish look well-fed and their water is clean. Learn some fucking grammar skills and spread your hate elsewhere, asshats.
