A recent incident in a national park in which an elderly transgender man was seen wearing a Pretty Cure (PreCure) outfit led to a warning Toei Animation and the official PreCure Twitter account.

The situation occurred at Hitachi Seaside Park, where the person in question was observed interacting with girls while wearing an unofficial costume from the franchise.

Initially, several park visitors did not perceive the person's actions as malicious.

However, concerns were raised after Twitter users discovered the person's profile and the messages he had posted.

These tweets included statements such as “today was a great day“, “the girls hugged me“, “I hugged them“, “The girls were very mature” and “They mistook me for the staff“.

Twitter users quickly discovered that the person in the PreCure costume was an elderly transgender man with a fetish for dressing like a little girl.

This person also revealed that she was a transgender woman who underwent surgery after undergoing the procedure in Thailand at a cost of 1.6 million yen (just over 11 thousand US dollars).

Hitachi Seaside Park has no regulations regarding visitors wearing face-covering clothing.

This has led to a few incidents, such as a man who wore a face covering to enter the park and steal a bag.

Japanese Twitter users are calling on the park to implement stricter rules to prevent such incidents from happening again.

In response to public outrage, the national park quickly implemented new regulations to discourage such activities, prohibiting visitors from wearing costumes that hide the wearer's face.

Toei Animation learned of the situation and posted a post on Twitter advising people to be wary of individuals wearing suits for unofficial greetings.

The same message was shared by PreCure's official Twitter account.

In addition to the incident with the transgender individual, other reports have emerged of encounters with suspicious costumed individuals in the park.

One report detailed how a woman and her daughter were followed to their car by a costumed individual after the girl freaked out and started crying to avoid the situation.

After the incident was exposed on Twitter, the transgender man in the PreCure suit changed his username, made his account private, and deleted all incriminating tweets.

The situation has drawn attention to the need for greater awareness and regulation regarding the use of costumes in public spaces.

And of course, all of this did not go unnoticed in the comment forums:

• «And it's even sadder that they use the image of these heroines to do something so despicable.».
• «I'm not a mother or anything, but I understand these parents, not only because they can dare to do more, but also because we go to the parks to have fun and not worry for a while.».
• «Just when I thought they couldn't mess this up again, these accidents happen. Just like they don't want to alienate adult audiences from these franchises. At least they should start banning these bots on premises, or at least launch some official ones like the ones at Disneyland.».
• «How to Permanently Damage a Franchise's Image in a Single Day».
• «Since he wrote that the girl's handshakes and hugs turned him on, you know things are already very hazy. I hope they find the subject, it's not something that can stay like this.».
• «Parents' concerns are completely understandable, I hope Toei takes action on the matter.».
• «Parents are not exaggerating, if I were a mother too and read that the guy dressed as PreCure says he gets excited by girls then it is not only worrying, but dangerous».
• «Why are the Japanese police some of the most useless in the world? They have their Twitter account ready and could have arrested the guy by now, but no, they prefer to hunt guys who upload anime episodes, useless as hell!».
• «Japan never disappoints. And then they wonder why no one wants to have children there.».
• «I hope they give him an exemplary punishment to set a precedent and so that no idiot thinks of imitating all this.».
• «I don't think it's bad to dress up and go out with people to make them happy, but you'll never know what the true intentions of the person behind the disguise are.».
• «I don't like the idea of doxing anyone, but I hope they find that damn pervert.».
• «I cosplay and I agree that people's personal space should be respected. I respect both boys and girls a lot, so as a responsible adult, I believe that nothing should be hugged just for the sake of it. If they ask you for a photo, just pose as the character you are playing and that's it.».
