According to The Straits Times, the man named Toco bought the Rough Collie dog suit at an estimated two million yen (RM60,000).

On Toco's YouTube channel, viewers can watch him as the Collie performing tricks, going on walks, receiving belly rubs, and pretending to eat dog food.

The "dog" is also seen engaging with his fans by answering their frequently-asked questions through cards.

Toco's videos average a view count of 30,000 views, with his most successful video receiving over three million views.

In a self introduction video, Toco explains that it has always been a childhood dream of his to become an animal, and now that he is an adult, he could fulfill it.

He mentions that he will not be revealing his identity in fear of being harassed by those who may not agree with his lifestyle. 

Toco also shares his gratitude for his viewers who support him for his unique hobby.

Many viewers praised the adorable costume and shared their interest in becoming animals as well. 

"I also dream of becoming an animal, just like you. To me, the therians (humans who identify themselves as animals) are beautiful!" commented a viewer.

"Love you, Toco! Keep living your dreams!" said another.

There were a few viewers who speculated the videos were hiding a darker truth, with one commenting, "Imagine this being a dark web video, and the person dressed is being forced."

However, the claims have never been proven nor justified as Toco seems to be enjoying his new life as a dog on his own free will.
