Who would have thought? After the mocumentary “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan!” you would be forgiven to think that only the most hardened Borat fans would be seen in a mankini.
The Borat Mankini - verrry niize!
Thanks to Sacha Baron Cohen this particular piece of fashion has caught on in Japan, well, at least to a few lovely ladies. And as Borat would say it is ‘verrry niize, I liiikke!’

And whilst we are on the subject of weird and wonderful swimwear in Japan, here are a couple more.
The Nip
The caption is inspired by the Seinfeld episode where Elaine is nicknamed ‘The Nip’ after she accidentally exposes a nipple on a Christmas card photo taken by Kramer.
The Landing Strip
Secure the cabin, we are getting ready to land. A swimsuit held together by dental floss.
For more mankini in Japan check out Shūkan Asahi and the Mankini or check out Japan’s very own character of the Borat genre Hard Gay.

What is the lady in the third picture holding?
The umbrella also says ぢ・大黒堂, which is a hemorrhoids medicine (as well as a music group with Beat Takashi).
good pick up. maybe it is a device that comes with the hemorrhoid kit. her other hand seems to be preparing the area…
Where, I didnt see these in Kamakura?
I wonder when the hoodthong will make it to Japan: http://www.hoodthong.com/
hahahaha… awesome! the hoodthong rocks!
An interesting Japanese expression for “The Nip” photo would be “munechira”. http://pinknihon.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/munechira/ I’m sure a google search will have all kinds of examples
Most of them (if not all) are photoshopped.
And a way before Borat. Very old Photoshop from 2ch.
That’s hot!
They should enter these pics in the International Mankini Challenge!
Anyone noticed the mans tattoo in picture 6? or did you see something else?
Interesting pick up Rob. It appears to be Henohenomoheji, an iconic face drawn by Japanese schoolchildren using hiragana characters.
That saves me. Thanks for being so snsebile!
are all japan beaches clothing optional? cause im seeing women in the background topless, and really those “swimsuits” dont cover much up
wow…it’s seem very sexy costum…..nice swimwear…:)
Has anyone noticed that the asian chick under the umbrella in third photo down has a dildo in her hand
