28 - Mysterious Huge Old Man

【怪人・デカおじさん、kaijin deka-ojisan】
["Kaijin" refers to a person of unknown character, if you're familiar with Japanese urban legends, you might recognize it from "Kaijin Answer", it's used as a title here, but "Mystery Man, Huge Old Man" doesn't sound good. "Deka" means huge and "Ojisan" is a formal way to refer to middle-aged men or uncles.]

With his huge stature and frightening appearance, it is said that he appears on the streets to chastise children for their bad behavior...or maybe not. The truth is, this name was given by children to Police Sergeant Souichirou Kogure (27), who works in the Police History Archival Office of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

One account describes him as a fan of idols.
