Meet Japan’s Batman – Chibatman

This real-life Batman of Japan’s Chiba Prefecture, “Chibatman,” has been riding around Tokyo on his custom Batpod since 2011, reports Boing Boing.

The BBC says that just like Batman, the 41-year-old – who works as a welder during the day – keeps his identity closely-guarded.

For the past three years, Chibatman has been spotted flying through the streets of Chiba on his custom three-wheeled Chibatpod. Hopefully there’s also an Italian equivalent called “Ciabattaman”.
