<\/p>\n

A Japanese man who spent around \u00a312,000 on turning himself into a border collie is now looking for a partner as he eyes a new career in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

The committed dog cosplayer debuted his new persona after a months-long process to create the perfect custom-made costume to make his dream of “becoming an animal” come true.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his choice of breed, he said: “The reason I chose a collie dog breed specifically is primarily because I like raising them.<\/p>\n

“Secondly, because if it wasn\u2019t a naturally large size breed, it wouldn\u2019t look unnaturally disproportionate when worn by someone as a costume.\u201d He added the border collie costume helped \u201ccamouflage the human form discreetly.\u201d<\/p>\n

After finally embracing his new appearance, Toco is now eager to make his Hollywood debut and become the next big thing in the canine acting world.<\/p>\n

He said: “I think it would be great if I were able to use my skills and get the opportunity to appear as a dog in a movie.”<\/p>\n

And to completely achieve his dream, Toco has his sights set on finding a companion who shares his passion for living the life of a dog.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The New York Post, the human-cum-canine added: “I think it would be great if something like this existed. I would like to meet them.”<\/p>\n

Toco has grown more comfortable donning the costume in public, and made his debut on all fours a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

He has been documenting his journey into the canine world on his YouTube channel, which has accrued more than 50,000 subscribers since her first joined.<\/p>\n

Toco admitted finding the perfect costume to fit his concept was difficult and it took nearly a year for him to be satisfied with his new doppelg\u00e4nger.<\/p>\n

He said: “Approximately two and a half years ago \u2026 I actually spoke to several companies about wanting to make a realistic dog costume like this.”<\/p>\n

And despite admitting it is strenuous at times spending all day on his paws, the sense of fulfilment he is left with makes everything worth it.<\/p>\n

Toco added: “Rather than being tough or physically uncomfortable, the feelings of excitement and fun I receive from this experience are stronger.”<\/p>\n
