Tourist crawled through the streets of a Japanese city in a snake costume

Brazilian blogger Junior Caldeirao, known for his costume sketches, has found himself at the center of a discussion due to one of his latest works. The man dressed up in a wig and a cobra costume and crawled through the streets of one of the cities in Japan, which sparked a discussion online about the appropriateness of such behavior.

The video of the man's costume performance went viral — it has gained more than 8.7 million views. It shows the influencer dressed up in a huge snake costume and wearing a black wig, crawling through the streets, squares and near subway stations in Japan.

The blogger himself is known for embodying a variety of images of famous characters from games, movies, anime and playing up stereotypical ideas in every country he visits. However, the new viral video has sparked a huge discussion among Japanese users.

Residents of the Land of the Rising Sun called the Brazilian's performance "culturally offensive" and "a reckless provocation that threatens public safety." Some are even calling for legal consequences such as deportation and fines for such an act in the middle of the streets of Japan.
