This interesting Nico video shows a mysterious man in a hockey mask carving (chainsawing ?) a wooden replica of Kannagi’s Nagi-sama, or more specifically the wooden statute Jin carved of the second-hand goddess from which she sprang back to life.
Not content with just one statue, the masked creator went on to make a second idol of Nagi, and last of all sculpted what might very well be his masterwork, a leek-bearing likeness of beloved Vocaloid virtual idol Hatsune Miku.
He calls these creations “Mokkoroids”, from Mokkou, meaning wooden (nendo means clay).
I don’t believe Jin actually used a chainsaw in the original carving of a piece of Nagi’s sacred tree, but perhaps the lack of a precision tool makes it all the more impressive to behold?
In a follow-up to the above video, the masked creator, despairing that the goddess did not come forth, went on to make another statue of Nagi the following week, this time in her more usual appearance but with a rather disturbing look on her face…
Another fine display of the artist’s skill, although some may be put off by Nagi’s gargoyle-like expression. Finished with his Nagi sculptures (and perhaps disappointed that neither came to life as in the show), the artist uploaded the following video earlier this week, displaying his creation of a truly moe Miku statue…
Very impressive – just imagine what he could do if given actual carving tools!
This was another find from the Sankaku forums, which is becoming more and more a great source of interesting news and images. Credit for this find goes to Anonymous.

dang long chainsaw is long !
That guy is amazing!
Crazy. Someone should paint them!
I'm surprised he could detail that well with something that cumbersome. Say nothing of his upper body strength.
I've worked with saws before, if you use'em regularly doing tree work and such using the little saws he uses most of the time wouldn't be hard at all. Also, I've used the same/similar model of that Husqvarna hes got with the 4 foot bar. Let me say, that thing is a beast.
I think that's fake...
:P
are you korean?
lol
I can't wait for Ranka Lee >.<
Seconded!
LOL. Cutman/Gutsman BGM.
I don't think there are Rockman 1 BGMs there.
I notice these BGMs are from NES Rockman 2 playing in the background.
- Flashman
- Quickman
- Metalman
- Bubbleman
- Woodman (LOL)
- Airman
Damn! what a pro!
who needs anime figures if ur an otaku lumberjack that has so much wood lying around with all the time in the world! that mokkoroid must be some hard wood to knock off the chains of 2 saws..
What?! The videos got deleted or something D:
Nooo!
I was just about to download them.
These videos were awesome. D*mn that I didn't download it earlier.
EPIC WIN! I love how he ends it... always with alcohol XD
whats with that...hokuto no ken opening on the 3rd video....i just felt so manly just now
Bah, that was just awesome. Would have been better if he painted them as well.
Also LOL at the 3rd video where 2 of his chainsaws broke. Hahahahahaha.....
I got holy wood!
The carving of the Miku statue was amazing. I was wondering how he was gonna do her hair.
LOL at the end of the Miku video. Celebrating with wine and the cat even walked back in to watch.
I agree. How he did the hair was amazing to see.
THIS IS LEGENDARY! Too bad loli miku and Nagi didn't come forth... He chose the wrong tree. Preserve it and sell for over 9000!
Someone was offering over 500,000 in the comments.
500k ¥ or $? i didn't notice... but 9000$ is certainly more than 500k ¥.
nagi was made out of a sakura tree, right? pine might have just been too cheap for her to materialise. she's a goddess after all.
oak might have worked too.
"Over 9000" was the tip-off.
That was amazing....
His arm must be sore as hell holding up a chainsaw for that long though.
wat a leged >.< i wish i was that artistic...i'd so pay for one of them... and the stuff running across the screen are the comments... bottom right hand side u can turn em off
If you google chainsaw art there are plenty of 'artist' offering their skills for hire.
Might be 'slightly' more expensive then your average figure though.
Lets all do the Nagi dance and summon her to lyfe.
We need a SACRIFICE!!!
Yahh... all we need is some chalk and candles and draw the pentagram.
(P.S. CUTE CAT @ 6:54 ><"...)
count me in...
who`ll take her...? ME OF COURSE >_<
Nice idea... I'm in...
If that doesn't work maybe we have to sing the MAME(豆) song...
I'd go get a holy tree.
I've been wondering, why the hell is all that jargon running across the screen on Nico's videos? Is that some sort of automated anti-stealing protection, or is that the Japanese community thinking it's funny to cloud their videos with all that stuff?
hahaha how many times must this be answered. It's comments by the viewers of the video and can be switched off by clicking on the chick(?) icon at the bottom-right.
Oh sweet. Thanks.
Yes, as Kronosfere said, click the cute little chick in the bottom right to turn off Nico user comments...
Oh, wow. I've been wondering why everyone was calling it the chick button until now. after closer inspection i saw the chick. at first i thought it was just a word bubble. weird how i didn't notice before.
Yeah, and the comments can be VERY hilarious at times.
The idiot english speaker wasn't exactly what I call hilarious, however.
Oh wow that Hastune Miku is amazing.
Anyone know what the song that starts at 10:41 in the third video is?
Rockman 2 - Dr. Wily's Castle(Stage 01)
awesome skills.
he had very good detailing with such an unprecise tool. :O
Never took Jason to be a anime freak. That looked like some serious skill.
Insane. I want one. ;(
OMG, Jason Voorhees is a Kannagi fan!
I AM glad Jason is an anime fan too . . . specially a Nagi fan . . . death to all non-believers?
nothing short of amazing and impressive
