The Japanese YouTuber, who goes by the name Toco, has for the first time ventured out into the world in his 14,000-dollar border collie costume, which he claims helps him "actualize" his dream of becoming an "animal." 

Toco, who runs the YouTube channel, @I_want_to_be_an_animal, has uploaded 37 videos in the last year and boasts 38.8k total subscribers. The account's first video, which was uploaded a year ago and currently has 3.8 million views, is titled "I Tried to Become A Collie" and features Toco wearing his hyper-realistic suit in his living room. 

The channel's most recent video was published ten days ago and already sits at 3.8 million views. It's this video that sent Toco's mission to become a border collie into the feeds of millions this past weekend. The video is titled, "Dogs and people's reactions to seeing a realistic dog costume!"
