A giant otter with a turtle for a hat and a massive social media following has challenged the comedian to a wrestling match.
John Oliver attends The Natural Resources Defense Council's “Night of Comedy” benefit on April 30, 2019, in New York. By Simon Denyer Simon Denyer Tokyo bureau chief covering Japan, North Korea and South Korea. Email Bio Follow May 3 at 4:33 AM TOKYO — Watch out, John Oliver. A “man-size 0-year-old fairy baby” is out to get you. Or to put it another way, Chiitan, a giant otter with a turtle for a hat, is training for a no-holds-barred match.
“The point is there are three otters, two of which are named Chiitan, and the mascot Chiitan was never formally affiliated with the city of Susaki. It’s that simple,” Oliver explains. The city’s mayor, Kosaku Kusunose, announced in February that he had asked the company behind Chiitan to suspend its activities, reportedly claiming copyright infringement.
