Billy Herrington, better known as “Aniki” (Big Brother) or “The Forest Fairy” to millions of NicoNico Douga viewers, has arrived in Japan to take part in a Saturday event in Akihabara hosted by Good Smile Company and Nico to promote Figma and Nendoroid figures.
Herrington, a former American gay porn star (he himself is bisexual) active in the 1990s, noted for his superb physique, is famed for being part of a Nico meme that began when a clip of one of his works (“GachiMuchi Wrestling”) was uploaded to the site, and has since been inserted into many a Nico video for comedic effect.

One of the more maniacal otaku proclivities (and even non-otaku may own them) is towards the use, abuse, and collection of artificial wives, life sized dolls designed with sexual satisfaction, or a least a substitute for it, in mind.
In Japanese, in something of a calumny towards the Netherlands, such a doll is known as a “Dutch wife” (which also covers other artificial vaginas), doll, or sex doll.
