Superfly Japanese Guy

No one can deny that the Japanese have a style which is very much their own when it comes to clothing and fashion, as demonstrated by Mr Superfly Japanese Guy...

Contrary to many peoples beliefs of Japanese dress, the streets of Japan aren't filled with:

Kimono wearing Adults	Scantily clad ganguro girls	or hoards of people donning cosplay outfits 24/7

Don't get me wrong, you can spot them around, but mostly in the big cities, like Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka. Also it won't be much more outragous than what you can see on the streets of Camden, London on a normal weekday.

The Japanese would pretty much wear the typical western style of clothing.

So it was a rarity for me to see Mr Superfly Japanese Guy (not his real name) on a Tokyo train. I only wish I had taken a better picture, or had the guts to go up to him and ask him to pose. Then it would have been easier to see his righteous purple tinted afro, his righteous purple checkered shirt, and you would have got a better view of his righteous patterned man bag. Don't know what he was reading, but I'm almost certain that was righteous too.

"Mr Superfly Japanese Guy, I salute you!"

I want to shake that man's hand so badly.

I like how he just minds his own
business reading his paper, and it looks like he is off to some business
meeting.

I don't know, just awesome.
