Man Spent $23,000 To ‘Become A Wolf’ Just Wants To Be Free Of Human Relationships
“I was amazed at my transformed self in the mirror.”
A Japanese spent $23,000, or 3 million yen, to become a wolf. To be precise, he commissioned them a hyper-realistic costume of a wolf that can stand on its hind legs. And after all this, Ueda Toru the commissioner feels absolutely satisfied for feeling no longer “human.”
Everyone has their own method to relax and destress and for Ueda, that’s this wolf costume.
Ueda’s gorgeous costume was made by Zeppet, a professional company that specializes in making realistic costumes and models for TV shows and films. Ueda was satisfied with the result and spoke to The Times, “When I wear my costume I feel I’m no longer human.”
“I’m free of human relationships. All kinds of troubles, related to work and other things – I can forget about them.”
He also shared how did his passion to become a wolf started, “Because of my love for animals since childhood and some realistic animal suits appearing on TV, I dreamed of “being one someday.”
While he loves being a wolf, he’s not planning to wear it out and about. But he enjoys inviting friends over for some drinks while wearing his suit.
He shared with Zeppet when he finally received his commissioned costume, “It was a moment when my dream come true.”
“My order to “look like a real wolf walking on hind legs” was difficult – to say the least – but the complete suit looked exactly like what I imagined.”
