The humungous kawaii (\u304b\u308f\u3044\u3044) toy had to be airlifted to the Minka home of Baka Aho, a 32-year-old Japanese manga <a href=\"https:\/\/dailysoak.com\/index.php\/2019\/03\/11\/japan-to-require-foreign-workers-arriving-on-new-visas-to-do-cosplay\/\">animator from Tokyo, Japan<\/a>\u00a0(\u65e5\u672c).<\/p>\n<p>The big bear looks like it came right out of a weird anime and could be seen from miles away due to its sheer gigantic size.<\/p>\n<p>After removing the front wall to his traditional Japanese home, Aho had the giant <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Teddy_bear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teddy bear<\/a> crammed into the baby&#8217;s tiny room and then had the thatched-roof removed so the big bear&#8217;s head could extend into the cold, night sky.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;I had to get this teddy bear at all costs&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;This was the best way I could show my boy I loved him,&#8221; said Aho by way of Google translator. &#8220;When I saw the enormous stuffed bear at the local market I knew I had to get it for my son at all costs, even if it meant not being able to buy any food for a few years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4134\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4134\" src=\"http:\/\/dailysoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/TeddyBear2-min.jpg\" alt=\"Funny fake photo showing baby boy trapped under 25 foot tall teddy bear.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" title=\"\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Here we see the happy baby boy playing with his big new teddy bear.
