ドラゴンボール Doragon Bōru



Ricky's birthday celebration took place on a boat cruise where the majority of party-goers dress in yukatta. Having had Darren ask me if 'I was going to wear the same yukatta as usual' I decided it was time for a change and headed to DQ to buy a new yukatta. Unfortunately the range in DQ was very dull and uninspiring, so I decided to buy a 'jimbe' which was a nice bright orange. I did not realise that I had purchased a costume of a famous manga character - Doragon Ball

Dragon ball is legendary and I was the source of much amusement amongst the Japanese, especially the men - all of whom wanted their pictures taken with me. I was effectively the only person dressed in a costume & felt like a gay icon
