At least cosplay as Muten Roshi or something if you're going to act like that. The original Kinnikuman was never a perv.

What an idiot. He's lucky that he wasn't charged for sexual assault or something.

He's just being in character!
Or at least he's just trying to make your 3D anime experience as authentic as possible! Laughing

Well done on the creator. I am sure that had an impact on the groper.

This guy was lucky the police weren't within his vicinity to catch him in the act. At least he owned up to his transgression after his enduring of the 72-hour cosplay diatribe on Twitter.

Kudos to Yadetamago-sensei for jumping into the matter and helping this Kinnikuman cosplayer come to his senses.

So glad the creator called this guy out on his inappropriate behavior. I love his response to "don't apologize to me apologize to the girls". I wish the american fan base would call out creepers that do this stuff at cons too more frequently; it always freaks me out to see a guy with a mask or something covering his face doing some 'whacky hijinks'.

I have a feeling that he picked such character to cosplay as just to grab stuff. What a loser. Laughing

I find it funny that the Twitter name is @OtokohaDamatteG, or 男は黙ってG (roughly: men are silently G).

Dude, when the creator of a series that you're cosplaying from tells you not to be a groper, you would be wise to listen.

Yes, on the American fanbase. Too often, a lot of people try to downplay or dismiss problems like this when they come up.

I'm so glad the creator said something though! He's great, especially for telling the cosplayer to apologize to the girls. By the sound of the apology/statement, it sounded like the guy didn't really understand or care, just that he didn't expect to be called out so much.

Probably because Japan has a culture revolving around apologies and atonement whereas in the United States, there's a strong "don't care" vibe that goes on. A creator calling someone out on sexual harassment probably wouldn't do jack squat, and the harasser would love the attention.
