The 41 year-old Chibatman works as a welder, and his Batman cosplay isn’t only a weekend thing. According to Japanese news reports (via
Naver and Vipper), he wears his Batman costume when he commutes to work. That’s freakin’ awesome!

The reason why his Batpod, a custom job he made himself, is a trike instead of a two-wheeled bike is that under Japanese law, you don’t need to wear a helmet for trikes. They’re classified as a type of car. Oh, and it’s also legal to wear capes while driving trikes.

“I do it because I want to see everyone smile,” he says. That you’ve done, Caped Crusader.
