These two bad ass little boys are part of Japan's new SWAT team. A company called Tokyo Marui sells a vast collection of illegal guns and weapons. They're not real, of course—but they're super realistic "air soft" guns that run on batteries and shoot BBs. This particular series is called "Automatic Electric Gun Boys," and features a line of submachine guns made just for kids. Nice!

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Hehehe, as far as airsoft weapons go, Tokyo Marui has gone from high quality brand to seriously overpriced.

As a white guy in Japan, the last thing I need to be doing is be seen with an air gun.
And yes, those guns can get pricey. Akiba has some good shops.

That's really cool! I'm 25 and I want one! If only to add to my collection of air soft guns
