Did You Know Japanese Singer Going Viral For Lolita Pictures Is A 42-Year-Old Man!

Recently, a Lolita-style cosplayer and singer has been going viral on the internet. The cosplayer is famous for their delicate facial features and cute dressing style.

Who Is Takuma Tani, Man Going Viral For His Lolita Fashion

Takuma Tani is a 47-year-old man who is known for wearing pretty doll-like outfits and for having strong vocals. The singer has over 20,000 followers on social media. Tani is famous for dressing up in Lolita fashion. Lolita fashion is a subculture and dressing style that originated in Japan in the 1990s. It is inspired by the aesthetics of Victorian and Rococo fashion. 

In an interview, Takuma Tani revealed that he started learning how to play the piano at the age of three and later studied vocal performance in Liverpool, England. After returning to Japan, Tani became a vocal coach. The singer first encountered Lolita fashion at the age of 34, when he was working as a part-time model. One time when a female model cancelled, the staff asked her to wear a Lolita dress for the shoot. 

Takuma Tani said he initially hesitated because it felt inappropriate to dress like that for a man and father, but then agreed. The staff praised him for his visuals and even said that he looked better than female models on camera. The cosplayer revealed that he found real confidence after wearing the Lolita fashion and dressing femininely. “My petite body, delicate features and soft temperament all became my greatest strengths,” he said.
