KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — Chiitan the self-proclaimed "Japanese crazy mascot” will be making an appearance at a "secret event” at yakiniku restaurant and cocktail bar Gyukyoku.

Chiitan recently posted that if they got enough Malaysian followers, they would come to the country and apparently that happened.

Who is Chiitan? The mascot is, as John Oliver describes them: "A giant otter wearing a turtle as a hat”.

Speaking of Oliver, he has even dedicated an entire episode to Chiitan’s origins as an unofficial mascot of the city of Susaki, Japan.

Since then Chiitan has been a mainstay of X (formerly twitter), putting up bizarre ads and claiming they have nothing to sell but advertise so people see less terrible X ads, but more Chiitan.

Anyhow if you’re of the right age and demographic, you can pay RM300 to catch Chiitan at Gyukyoku tomorrow, August 17 from 10pm to 1am.

Gyukyoku’s address: 51, Jalan Tiong Nam, Off, Jin Raja Laut.
