Female Cosplayer Turns Out to Be a 39-Year-Old Man After Stealing Motorcycle

How About a Crazy End-of-Year Story? At the very end of December, a small cosplayer named Sakura shared on her profile that she had acquired a motorcycle, an occasion she wanted to celebrate with her followers.

Below, you can see the post she made, celebrating with a photo of the motorcycle—a blue Suzuki TL1000R—which she was thrilled to have gotten.

This would have been just another simple post from a cosplayer celebrating a new bike, but there was a twist. Shortly before this post, another Twitter user was trying to help a friend who had their motorcycle stolen.

Kae had posted that her friend’s motorcycle was stolen and shared pictures of it. The bike in question? A blue Suzuki TL1000R… Can you connect the dots now?

Did the cosplayer steal Kae’s friend’s motorcycle? Well, it could have just been a coincidence that Sakura acquired a blue Suzuki TL1000R at the same time Kae’s friend’s bike was stolen, right?

Nope. It turned out that Sakura did steal the motorcycle and eventually turned herself in to the police. The public learned about it through a news article published on January 1.

The article revealed that a “cosplayer was arrested for stealing a motorcycle.” But wait, there’s more: the report also disclosed that the cosplayer is actually a 39-year-old male office worker! Around the same time, the Twitter profile of cosplayer Sakura was set to private.

Judging from the comments, it seems that Sakura had been hiding the fact that she was a man. This story went viral at the start of the year. Let’s check out some of the comments from Japanese users:

• “See? It’s a Japanese man, right?”
• “The cosplay photo is of a 39-year-old office worker?”
• “Now is the age of diversity, after all.”
• “After all, single men nearing 40 are always problematic.”
• “This is already a monster…”
• “His actions and words are completely messed up.”
• “I can understand wanting to steal the bike, but posting it on social media? That doesn’t sit well with me.”
• “So the boobs were fake? Indeed, the size varied a lot between photos.”

Below are some photos of the cosplayer Sakura:

There are fake breasts, and believe it or not, many cosplayers use these products—even women—to cosplay characters with large chests.

• “After something is stolen, it seems better to monitor social media and auctions.”
• “What kind of craziness is this, turning yourself in right away?”
• “With joy, they post stolen items on social media and get caught within two days… What kind of ‘precautionary bubble’ is this?”
• “A crossdressing uncle nearing 40 years old?”
• “Why do people insist on posting evidence on the internet?”
• “Posting something stolen and getting caught… It’s too stupid. How has he lived until now?”
• “Bragging about something stolen… No wonder they say he has mental issues.”
• “The stupidity of posting stolen items online is astonishing.”
• “The tweet showing off the stolen bike is absurd.”

What a way to kick off 2025, huh?
