The Mail Order Mix-Up & The Man With The Mermaid Tattoo (And Fake Tits)

Once again proving that they are peerless when it comes to off-the-wall, weirdo crime, Japan has hit us with a double-header of typically bizarre, kinky shit in the last couple of weeks.

Firstly, on October 12, it was reported that a Fukuokan yakuza was busted for importing a Filipino transvestite with the intent to marry him. Details come from the Tokyo Reporter [via the Sankai Shimbun if your Nihongo’s up to it] who state that Isawa Kawaguchi, the yakuza in question, has played dumb with authorities.  “I thought he was a woman,” Kawaguchi is quoted as saying. Hey, whatever floats your boat, tomodachi…we’ve all been there.

What’s interesting here is that in 2009, the Reporter also published an article about the rise in Japanese males interest in transvestite/transsexual Korean men. Korean plastic surgery, in case you don’t know, is reputedly top shelf and, as you’ll find in the link, the amount of hormones pumped into these new-halves apparently makes their skin even silkier than that of your average Japanese female prossie. No way!

Returning to Fukuoka and the recent past, it seems the local cops have discovered a number of transvestite Filipinos working the geographical pleasure spots of the city. The women of Fukuoka are reputed to be more beautiful than their counterparts around the country (which, by way of firsthand research, I can dispute), but even these lovelies better be looking over their shoulders for the influx of foxy Filipino/Korean ladyboys out to steal their gangsters’ hearts.

If that’s not enough, a couple of days prior to this in Nagano prefecture, the body of a man, aged somewhere in the range of his 30s to his 50s, was found in the bush. What’s remarkable about this is that the corpse (which had been dead a couple of months before discovery) was found with breast implants and an 18 centimetre mermaid tattoo on its right arm.

Majirox news broke this one and you can rest assured we’ll be on the case for updates. I don’t know about you, but I smell a kinky Japanese mystery in the offing…
