It was just a local bus. They never thought that it would be a hit. The company produced 6,000 of the miniatures, of which half sold quickly. Most of the buyers are bald men! Why?

Employee of Tomy (picture above) displays a minature bus which has a destination board for Mashike, but the town’s name can also be read as “Zoumou,” which in Japanese means “increasing hair.” Japanese toymaker Tomy has discovered an unexpected fan base for the miniature buses – balding men.

That’s the answer, Japan, what a unique country.
