Mid life crisis?
Meet Hideaki Kobayashi a middle-aged, bald man with a bushy mustache. From the neck up, he looks just like any 50-something year old man but from the neck down Kobayashi decided that a Japanese schoolgirl outfit is the way to go!
He parades all over Tokyo dressed in “Seifuku,” the name for the sailor outfits worn by teenage girls.
About three years ago, Kobayashi started dressing up as a teenage girl, but before that, he was a computer engineer and an accomplished photographer. He made his debut at an art and design event, but joked about the reasons behind his decision to dress like a giddy schoolgirl.
“That’s a difficult question,” Kobayashi told Kotaku.com last year. “It’s not really something I’ve thought too deeply about. Hrm. I guess it’s because sailor suits look good on me?”
“Japan society is all about conforming to the other people,” Kobayashi told CNN. “I just want to wear something cute.”
“If there’s something you want to do, do that,” Kobayashi told CNN. “That’s my message. Be yourself.”
