Schoogirl Man Shows Off His Appearance

This story gave news illustrators something fun to create for last night’s broadcast:
NIIZA, Saitama Prefecture–A man wearing a girl’s school uniform, make-up and a wig was arrested after shocking students and then trying to blend in at a high school here, police said Thursday.
Tetsunori Nanpei, 39, of Musashino, Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of entering the Saitama prefectural Niiza Senior High School without permission on Wednesday.
He told police he had bought the school’s uniform on an Internet auction site.
“I came near the school because I wanted to show off my appearance, which was wearing the uniform, to the students of the school,” police quoted him as saying. “But some students (outside the main gate) who saw me started to scream.
“So I entered the school grounds, thinking that I could disappear among the students.”
But Nanpei, who stands between 175 and 180 centimeters tall, just didn’t fit in.
Students inside the school’s grounds also screamed, prompting Nanpei to flee, police said.
