Anger As Teens Report Old Man Wearing Schoolgirl Uniform

old man who hangs around Tokyo in schoolgirl uniform questioned by police

Some high-schoolers who had their photo taken with an old man who likes to dress up in “sailor-fuku”, the standard school uniform for Japanese girls, uploaded the photographs onto Twitter, but then reported the old man to the police.

This sort of SNS behaviour has become common in Japan over the last year or so, where young people upload their pranks to gain online attention.

While the boys were successful in making their pictures of the old man trend, netizen responses to the story are overwhelmingly supportive of the cosplaying ojisan, who is well known in Tokyo, and many comments condemn the boys for reporting the old man and using him to get attention.

Why did he have to get reported?

ダイビングヘッドバット(dion軍):

Is this discrimination against men wearing skirts?

フェイスクラッシャー(大阪府):

What’s the problem?
Is it a crime for a man to wear a schoolgirl uniform?
You trying to say it’s indecent because he’s in a skirt?
If that’s the case, then the entire nation of Scotland is perverse.

魔神風車固め(庭):

This old guy is well known, and he’s accepted, so it’s pretty malicious to report him knowing all that.

ラダームーンサルト(やわらか銀行):[in response to above]

I wanna chase the guy who uploaded it down.
Impossible, right?

かかと落とし(神奈川県):

Hah, he’s already locked his account www
[personal information omitted]

グロリア(静岡県):

What’s wrong with a man wearing a schoolgirl uniform?
And why has the guy who reported him locked his account?

キチンシンク(宮城県):

He’s just wearing the clothes he likes, he’s done nothing wrong.

アキレス腱固め(関東・甲信越):

Wonder if he’d have been reported if he was wearing a sailor’s uniform….

ブラディサンデー(高知県):

It’s the famous old guy in a schoolgirl uniform.
Don’t be calling the police on him for nothing.

リキラリアット(東京都):

Right now I feel like I’ve come across a the first little fucker in a while who I’d like to give a good beating to.
As far as I’m concerned, this has pissed me off waaaay more than those little brats who fuck around in their part time jobs.

テキサスクローバーホールド(芋):

This old man was made the sacrifice just for laughs…
So frightening w

稲妻レッグラリアット(新疆ウイグル自治区):

They’re hugging him, I don’t get why they reported him…
If he hadn’t been wearing any clothes he’d have been reported immediately though.

キングコングラリアット(東京都):

It’s not the police but the bastard who reported him who doesn’t understand our culture.

断崖式ニードロップ(関西・北陸):

Ain’t no law to say that an old guy can’t wear a schoolgirl’s uniform.
So shut up, pricks.

膝十字固め(北海道):

So it’s ok to just upload the photos like that?
Isn’t this the same as what that woman did when she made those shop staff kneel down and uploaded their photo on Twitter?
This old man should sue.

マスク剥ぎ(東京都):

Come on, kids would have been frightened to see him.
They did the right thing by reporting him.

エルボードロップ(庭):

Reporting him was an awful thing to do!
Don’t use an old man and the police as your playthings!
