On Aug. 16, 2009, after the last grueling day at Comic Market 76, we were invited to an event host by Dwango, parent company of the popular video sharing site Nico Nico Douga, held in Chofu. Chofu is a small town roughly 45 minutes away from Akihabara by train and is one of the older parts of Tokyo. The event was held at a wrestling gym with quite a few people there for a surprise visit by former American gay porn star, Billy Herrington. Billy Herrington, also known as ”Billy” and ”Aniki” (Big Brother), has become an internet sensation in Japan, thanks to Nico Nico Douga. There are thousands of fan-made videos that uses many of Herrington’s old films to deliberately make misheard words, and wild wrestling videos which have made Billy a social internet celebrity in Japan.
