The Japanese man who made headlines throughout the year for chronicling his journey as a “dog” has apparently flunked an agility course. About Toco: Toco rose to fame in 2022 after commissioning Zeppet, a Japanese model and sculpture company, to create a hyperrealistic rough collie costume for 2 million yen (around $16,000 at the time). He then started posting his adventures on social media, including his YouTube channel, which has now grown to having more than 60,000 subscribers.
