Danny Choo, who’s rather well known for walking the streets of Tokyo in full Stormtrooper gear, is now giving a Bollywood bounce (well, more disco) to his outings.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.
The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.
Jean Snow is the design/culture editor at Neojaponisme, a web journal covering social and cultural aspects of Japan. Read the manifesto, by founder and chief editor W. David Marx, here.
PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens June 2.

Holy crap, I was actually there when they were filming that on Saturday. I missed the whole crosswalk thing, but I saw him dancing in front of the JR station. Too bad they didn’t get me on camera because I was laughing hysterically. I had no idea the guy is well-known around the city. That’s awesome.
Also, lesson learned: take your camera with you wherever you go, Lawrence. You never know what’s going to happen in this city.
Yeah, Danny has been doing Stormtrooper appearances for a while now. Really nice guy too, I had dinner and drinks with him once.
I hope my dancing didnt cause any dizzyness.
Already done shooting for Dance Vader in Harajuku last Sunday and will upload next week ;-)
Hahahahaha, that was Danny?! Awesome.
Danny, cool, can’t wait to see the new one!
