Name: Oshiri Kajiri Mushi
Translation: Bottom Biting Bug
Ocupation: Biting bums
Occupation? Okay, go with it. Everyone else here seems to. And really, it is pretty fun stuff. The bug-eyed guy with the four sharp teeth for chomping on ass seems fairly popular here right now.
I was first compelled to find out more about this creature because of one teacher who sits across for me in the staff room who is constantly singing the first bit of this ditty in a super cutesy voice. It got me curious.
A friend posted this link weeks ago on Facebook and I had been sharing this video there, but it just didn't feel like enough. So, here it is for all the folks back home - a taste of what is cool in Japan. (Well, this and those great green sweatshirts that say, "Passing Fad" on them.)
I will also post a link for a website with some information about the origins of this little monster. It's a cute story about a husband and wife team and their kitchen encounter.
Check out the PingMag story.
