Two otters travel across the ocean to search for “He-John” in this funny and heartwarming video.
Earlier this year, British-born American talk show host John Oliver became obsessed with a Japanese otter mascot called Chiitan.
This left Susaki City’s official mascot, a fellow otter called Shinjo-kun, without a friend, so Oliver sent over Chiijohn, a “41-year-old near-sighted English fairy baby” to help fill the “Chiitan-shaped hole in Shinjo-kun’s heart”.
▼ “‘We’re dead’, replied the fish.”The two mascots board their flight and arrive in America,, where Chiijohn does a set on stage and kills it.
This heartwarming tale now has us wondering if Oliver will be returning to Japan for a tour of Susaki with the two otters.
