This was my first ever post on KiwiFarms trying to start a thread on this Japanese lady who does African hairbraiding and goes to Compton yearly. I'm copying it for your pleasure. I hope you enjoy it!
So as one is want to do, I was browsing Instagram with Japanese hashtags of offensive shit. I searched the Japanese word for "nigger" (ニガー) and, interestingly, other hashtags starting with that were suggested as well, with ニガーズハウス ("nigger's house") catching my eye. That led me to this beautiful picture:

As I dug deeper into
this Instagram account, it led me down a rabbit hole of a subculture I didn't know existed: Japanese people in Fukuoka LARPing as black people.
Epitomizing this group is our lolcow herself, Mayuko Yoshii (芳井万由子) aka BlaccPrideBraids_Mayu [
EDIT: She changed her business name to High Life Braids (RIP Blacc Pride Braids) and is now
HighLifeBraids_Mayu on Instagram. I guess the name is a combination of American beer brand "Miller High Life" (as her logo apes) as well as marijuana use (which is highly illegal in Japan) which is on her sign in her store], henceforth referred to simply as "Mayu". As her Instagram name implies, she owns
an African hairbraiding salon in Fukuoka, Japan, called
High Life Braids (
archived FB page) . My first thought was how this business stays afloat, but as the first pic shows, there are seemingly tons of trashy Japanese people in Fukuoka willing to degrade themselves in the name of style. Check out some examples of Mayu's handiwork.

Mayu's style and subculture is what's known in Japan as "B-kei" (B系), meaning "black people style". This leads to some hilariously bad fashion choices.

Her obsession with imitating (her conception of) black people leads to a recurring pose of her with her ass sticking out.

What's even more fascinating to me, though, is how she decorates her salon. She has all of these bizarre, trashy American things like Bratz and Barbie dolls and California Raisins stuff even.

But my favorite reoccurring motif of hers is her love for the Green M&M. Yes.
The sexy one.

She somehow managed to create multiple varsity-style jackets with both M&M and Laffy Taffy imagery on them for her girlfriends. Which is weird, because Laffy Taffy doesn't exist in Japan. Sidenote: if anyone can hook me up with one of these jackets I would be eternally grateful.

Not satisfied with merely LARPing as a black person through her fashion, she takes regular vacations to the glorious paradise that is... Compton, CA!

There, she samples the native haute cuisine...

...and she even interacts with the locals... Bona fide BLACK PEOPLE!!!

Her Instagram posts are an endless source of lulz for me with how clueless she is as to what living as a black person/with black people is actually like. I'd also love for some random SJWs to find her and condemn her somehow. Anyways, enjoy this trashy icon! I might make another post about some others in her clique, too, so stay tuned for that.
