Japanese man spends Rs 18 lakh to look like a 'real wolf walking on hind legs'

The Japanese man said he always wanted to look like a "real wolf walking on hind legs".

A Japanese man has spent a whopping Rs 18 lakh to get a customized wolf costume made that looks strikingly similar to the real animal.

This eccentricity comes after the another man, also from Japan, last year got a dog costume made, from the same agency called “Zeppet”. It took him over Rs 12 lakh and 40 days to get the dog costume made and was instantly viral on social media.

Zeppet also shared photos of the wolf costume on Instagram and said it took them 50 days to get it done.

The photographs also show the man who ordered the “wolf suit” wearing it and since he was standing, it gave the impression of a wolf standing tall on its hind legs.

The man spoke to local TV channels and elaborated on why he got the costume made. "Because of my love for animals since childhood and some realistic animal suits appearing on TV, I dreamed of 'being one someday’,” the man, who requested anonymity said.

He had to go for several fitting sessions but says the final product was “exactly what he imagined”.

"At the final fitting, I was amazed at my transformed self in the mirror. It was a moment when my dream came true. My order to 'look like a real wolf walking on hind legs' was difficult, but the complete suit looked exactly like what I imagined."

The viral dog costume, also made by Zeppet, had also taken the internet by storm.
