A self proclaimed otaku kickboxer, 長島☆自演乙☆雄一郎 / Yuichiro Jienotsu Nagashima, has won a crushing victory at a major Japanese kickboxing championship, receiving the champion’s belt; he entered the ring cosplaying Hatsune Miku, and has on previous occasions appeared variously as Haruhi and a Sailor Moon character.
The event Nagashima triumphed at was none other than “Start of New Legend XIII”, held by the New Japan Kickboxing Federation – his entry was for the super welter weight competition.
His impressive victory was comprised of 11 bouts, all of which he won, and with seven of the victories being KOs.
As you can see, his Hatsune Miku costume is actually rather good, beating even hopeful lady Miku cosplayers.
The fight in question:
Unsurprisingly, though nonetheless disappointingly, the ota-boxer did not fight in costume – this is doubtless unavoidable if we consider the problems inherent in cosplay boxing, though surely there is an untapped niche there.
His supporters distinguish themselves by cheering him with cries of “乙”, otsu, 2chan slang for “otsukaresama”, or well done. Indeed, he seems quite the 2channer, enthusiastically employing a variety of specialist 2ch language.

God damn it Japan.
WTF Wow I can imagine the losers thinking...
"Meahh! I lost boxing to a 2D Girl!!"
And what's even more embarrassing is that kickboxing's an actual competition. At least with Hard Gay, you could say you didn't REALLY lose.
WTF!?! JAPAN ><
what the hell is that!? GAR miku....
Uh, what the hell. Seriously.
Uajajajaja, this guy is awesome!!, a real fighting otaku that doesn't suck!!
Now... jaja, it must be pretty shocking to be beaten by crossplayer, if i were to lose against him i would never show mi face on the ring again...
That guy should go into WWE and kick some asses...
all i could say is lol....
If you got the shit kicked out of you by this guy, it would be impossible to be respected by society ever again...
OH man....this is beyond gay.
Yeah, not just a cosplayer, but a flaming cross dresser. Though I wonder, is there a UFC or WWF equivalent here in the states?
An otaku spirit and fighting spirit is far better then those who don't have anything to drive em on
Very well said!
ok that's cool, not all otaku are that pussy
he's my hero =D
im happy T>T this shows that not every otaku its a loser NEET. hehe
I could only imagine this guy's training montage...
BAD... ASS.
AND MIKU FLOORS THE COMPETITION.
Lol, awesome ;)
I think I have a new hero.
I can't stop laughing!
But he looks better in Haruhi outfit than Miku's one. In my opinion.
By the way, few days ago i saw in Danny Choo an image, about a chinese singer who design his last performance costume, using C.C. dress (from Code Geass R2).
So, we have a lot of "famous" cross-dreser today.
This guy is awesome! A new hero for any self-respecting not-pathetic otaku!
Wow... Pretty cool. He can be who he wants in such a macho environment and everything.
xD Que sentirán los derrotados? xD .Es bueno ser extravagante y poner en su sitio sin mucho problema a quienes se te crucen en el camino xD
Dejando a un lado lo del cosplay , en verdad es bueno peleando ºoº
I thought the fight was awesome, then I LOL'ed when Zettai Karen Children's theme played...
Yeah, that got me too right at the end. Makes for a damn fine victory theme.
He's a true Otaku.
Wahahahahahahahaha xDD
Oh~~~~ boy! xD
Need say more?
The other guy wasn't even putting up a fight. Leads me to believe that some fixin' could be going on behind the scenes.
its strategy... psychological warfare... "i just been pwned by miku"
wow... I'm lost for words... His homepage banner.... wow...
Uhhhh.....Mikuru Beam?
Props to him for having guys, but... can't unsee x.x
Hmm, interesting, the Japanese always love zany intros. Come by again if anyone in K-1 pulls off something like this.
A man amongst boys.
I sure u meant a FAG among normal straight men.
That is win! kick ass with style and have a laugh.
That guy is my hero!
A NEW CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED!
If he really wanted to represent otaku, he could at least cosplay something that didn't burn our eyes out. On a side note, how must his opponents have felt?
"HOW THE HELL DID I JUST GET BEATEN UP BY SAILOR MOON!?"
let see
8/10 for kickboxer
3/10 for cosplay
10/10 for passion
total 21/30 well done !! dude !?
the video is gone
anyone still have?
que carajos..... eso si es volarse la raya con los cosplays T_T
Ni modos asi son los japoneses
(Sorry i don't write in english) Can't Understand... Use Translate Google
