A Japanese man has realised a lifelong ambition to look like an animal.

The internet is mystified after Twitter user @toco eevee posted pictures of himself on Twitter.

The total cost of the costume is estimated to be more than 12 lakh (2 million Yen) and took 40 days to complete.

Toko has even spoken to the media. When asked why he chose a collie, replied –

“I made it a collie because it looks real when I put it on my taste and costume. My favourite is quadrupedal animals, especially cute ones. Among them, I thought that a big animal close to me would be good, considering that it would be a realistic model, so I decided to make it a dog. Long-haired dogs can mislead the human figure. I met such a condition and made Collie, my favourite breed of dog.”

The interviewer even asked if he could freely move his limbs, to which he replied, “There are restrictions, but you can move. However, if you move it too much, it will cease to resemble a dog.”

Toko even has his own YouTube channel, where he asks viewers in one video for “requests for the video you would like to see”.
