Tokyo has a wonderful habit of throwing up surprises, and arguably nothings sums up the unexpected quite like the sight of Captain Jack Sparrow enjoying an outdoor beer or two.

Photographs from a small group of islands
Martin says
That’s a serious fan!
Lee says
Yes, real dedication. Even more remarkable considering how hot he must be in that outfit. A man who clearly doesn’t do half measures!
david says
Is he the same one you found on the train a while back?
Lee says
Nah, a different one. Yes, there are (at least) two Jack Sparrows in Tokyo!
The face of the one above isn’t so clear in the photo, but he’s not quite as authentic looking as the other Jack Sparrow. The photo of him is here.
Jeffrey says
I’m wondering whether these are the guys that do this out at Disneyland?
Lee says
That would make sense, but just to make things slighter odder, they don’t. The one in this photo has his own cake shop. Yes, cake shop. Well, at least he did. There’s a link to the story here.
And the one I linked to in the comment above used to work at some kind of celebrity look-alike bar in Shinjuku. Not seen him for a while though, so perhaps Jack Sparrow isn’t quite the draw he once was…
Coli says
Awesome!! He and Tokyo Trooper look like they’d get along great 🙂
Lee says
I’d like to see him with the other Jack Sparrow, but I’m not sure that either of them would care for that!
Squidpuppy says
Wait, are there any actual Japanese in this picture?
Lee says
Good point. But actually, there is the man talking to Jack Sparrow, and Jack Sparrow himself!
Marcin says
Beer? I guess he ran out of rum again 😉
Lee says
Yes, but not a bad second choice!
Hans ter Horst says
Great atmosphere, love the people in the background really adding to this photo!
Lee says
Cheers! It was the two fellas in the background, and more importantly their expressions, that really made it for me. Very lucky to have them in the frame.
Ri says
That’s a wonderful photo! And… a good excuse to visit a cake shop. XD
Lee says
Cheers! A very unique moment. And yes, if ever an excuse were needed, that would definitely do!
