Toco, from Japan, told The Mirror that he rarely shares his animal transformation with his friends because he is afraid of being perceived as strange. He also mentioned that his friends and family were surprised when they found out about his transformation.

He further explained that his desire to become an animal has been a longstanding fantasy of his since childhood.

"I wonder whether it was a desire for transformation."

Toco decided to go with a dog costume, specifically choosing a collie as it is his favorite breed.

Videos on Toco's YouTube page show him engaging in various activities as a dog, including eating, performing tricks, going for walks, and playing frisbee.

Toco mentioned that he purchased his costume from Zeppet, a Japanese company that produces sculptures and models for the film industry. A representative from Zeppet previously stated that the costume allows for the reproduction of a dog's skeleton on a human's skeleton.

"Since the structure of the skeleton is very different, we spent a lot of time studying how to make it look like a dog."

Zeppet also shared that they collected photos taken from various angles in order to accurately recreate the collie's coat and make it appear natural.

Although Toco is concerned about how his friends and colleagues would perceive his decision to live as an animal, he has received support from many people online.
