A 62-year-old Japanese man was fined after cosplaying in a bikini and dancing in Hat Yai streets, claiming it was for his YouTube channel.

 

Police in Hatyai have apprehended a 62-year-old Japanese national, known as Mr. Yasuda, for public indecency. Earlier sightings depicted him in a cosplay bikini, driving a motorcycle around Hatyai while dancing provocatively. His antics were widely shared on social media, prompting both criticism and curiosity about his identity.

 

On July 20, Mr. Yasuda turned himself in to the police following a search launched due to his unsuitable behaviour, which was considered lewd. Riding a rented motorcycle, Yasuda’s actions had been flagged by local authorities.

 

The rental agency reached out to him, prompting him to voluntarily appear at the police station.

 

Having resided in Hatyai for about a decade, Mr. Yasuda speaks Thai fluently. He explained that his eccentric display was part of his YouTuber persona, boasting over 2,000 followers.

 

He admitted that his choice of attire was driven by the hot weather, acknowledged the inappropriateness of his actions, and offered an apology for any offence caused.

 

The police charged him with public indecency and fined him 5,000 baht. Despite the incident, Mr. Yasuda holds a valid visa and passport and was subsequently released.
