Who are you?
Do you think the guy on the right looks like anyone? He actually doesn't, but we figured that if some Japanese people get excited when they see the elusive white person then they'd cream their pants if they see a black person. We decided if we were Japanese we could mistaken him for either Roy Jones, the Boxer, or DMX.
Being the goofball nutcases that we are, we decided to put our theory to the test and went to a busy train station and pretended that he is Roy Jones.
So we would get him to walk ahead of us while we quickly caught up and acted shocked and surprised, oh my Roy Jones is in Tokyo. Then we would ask people if they would help take our picture while he did a classic boxing pose. I would trail behind, see this, and ask to do the same creating a miniature mob. This was the plan, but how it went down was far different and more realistic:
1. Many people igored us as we flagged down the waves of people crossing the street.
2. They didn't know who Roy Jones was.
3. They didn't care.
3. We didn't speak Japanese so they might have thought we were so surprised to see a black guy that we wanted to take a picture with a black guy instead of a celebrity.
It was fun nevertheless.
