John Oliver Digs Deep Into the Hilarious And Weird World of Japanese Mascots

If you’ve never heard the name Chiitan before, you are missing out on something amazing.

In his own words, the Japanese mascot is a “0-year-old fairy baby” who “plays around super actively every day!”

As John Oliver points out in his deep dive into the world of Japanese mascots, Chiitan is a “giant otter wearing a turtle as a hat,” who posts deeply entertaining videos of himself behaving in rather strange ways.

Words can’t really do justice to Chiitan’s power to entertain. Just watch the video yourself.
