Doing this in public will get you arrested. Like many Japanese comedians who get their big break Akira 100% suddenly popped onto Japanese mainstream media before mostly disappearing into obscurity. However, Akira’s true fans know that he never really disappeared. He’s been around on social media and YouTube coming up with new and increasingly ridiculous naked stunts to pull. In …

That’s some hardcore “training.” The Japanese word shugyō is often translated as simply “training,” but that’s not quite accurate. Shugyō isn’t normally used to describe the kind of training you might do before participating in something like your local 10k run. Instead, it’s used to describe the dedicated physical and mental training performed by individuals like religious ascetics and warrior …

Hey, Akira, your ping pong balls are showing. The Japanese comedian Akira 100% has made a career for himself using little more than a metal tray – and that is no exaggeration. He doesn’t even wear clothes when he’s performing. All he does is use that metal tray (and occasionally other items) to keep his nether-regions covered as he engages …

Way better than tearaway pants. From cleaning your keyboard to inflating a tire, it’s almost like there’s nothing some well placed compressed air can’t accomplish. If fact, as a new video by the Japanese YouTuber Sushi Ramen Riku proves, compressed air can even be used in order to take your pants off with lightning speed. Released last week (Dec. 21), …

Japanese cat lovers are about to get very violent nose bleeds. At the end of 2017, the editorial staff at the long-running weekly tabloid magazine Shūkan Taishū threw a major curveball at their readers when they announced that they would be releasing a special end of the year edition of the magazine focused solely on cats. Titled Shūnyan Taishū (nya is …

“One for macho. Macho for all.” – Macho29 website. Whether you’re into “chubby angels” or senior citizen pop singers, Japan has a musical group for you. But what about if you’re into mostly naked men with bulging muscles? Well, you’re in luck. Composed entirely of finely sculpted muscular men (many of which have won bodybuilding competitions), Macho29 is a group …

Your one-stop shop for “tattoo friendly” bathing in Japan. As fun and great as visiting Japan can be, it can also be a bit frustrating for anyone with a tattoo. Although attitudes have somewhat loosened up, many in Japan still very much disapprove of tattoos due to their association with organized crime. As a result, it is not at all …

Don’t take Akira100% to a toy store. There’s many comedians in Japan who use nudity to get laughs, but it’s tough to deny that, at least at the moment, Akira100% is the most prominent of these. After blowing up on Japanese television with nothing but that little metal tray he uses to hide his naughty bits, he has now started …

Seems like a pretty good workout. Look up the word “pendulum” in the dictionary and you’ll find something along the lines of “a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.” Although a totally accurate definition, as the Japanese comedian Akira 100% proved in a recent video, a pendulum can also be a great way to cover …

Naked sumo is the new law of the land. Change is not something that occurs quickly or unexpectedly in the ancient and highly conservative sport of sumo. However, that seems to be exactly what happened earlier today (Apr. 1) when the organization that presides over professional sumo in Japan announced that the sport’s top athletes will no longer be allowed …

“Heavy build” means man boobs… right? On Wednesday (Jan. 10) police in Hokkaido arrested a man who allegedly disguised himself as a woman and entered a woman’s public bathhouse in Sapporo. According to information released by both police and the facility where the incident took place, the suspect, a 50-year-old part time worker, entered the Sapporo bathhouse at around 9 …

Don’t worry, Ueno Zoo isn’t getting their animals drunk. Even though Tokyo’s Ueno Zoo is famous for its pandas, the zoo has plenty of other very interesting animals. Take for example the naked mole rat in the photo below. If he doesn’t qualify as interesting, then nothing does. おはようございます。上野動物園開園です。 みなさんお正月はお休みできましたか？ サツマイモを枕にして寝ていますが酔っ払ってはおりません。#ハダカデバネズミ pic.twitter.com/qaQYDfVTOx — 上野動物園［公式］ (@UenoZooGardens) January 5, 2018 You have …
