A dying breed of big fifties revivalists the Tokyo Rockabilly Club have attained cult icon notoriety for their highly distinctive combination of Elvis hair, yakuza tattoos and predisposition to publicly jive to 50s rock ’n’ roll. Their classic greaser look is inspired by the Japanese street culture, known as “rokabiri-zoku” (the rockabilly tribe), that is modeled on the American rock ‘n’ roll movement of the mid-1950s.

More cosplay gone wrong, well more than the Top 10 Cosplay Fails anyways. Looks like his membership at the Tokyo Rockabilly Club was rejected so he thought he’d try his chances at the Wolverine fan club instead.
