You may know my beautiful avatar as being the best of all possible avatars belonging to the best of all people. It's self-made sprite art based on my previous avatar, which was described as "hypnotic" and "asian".

I want to find the source for this hypnotic Asian. I've been doing Google reverse image searches since the dawn of time, and nothing will point me to my favorite hungry dancing hypnotist, or the thing that he's eating.
Can anyone help me?
Since it looks like a commercial, I'm trying to get the characters off the bar thingy he's biting, but I'm not having any luck. After you find the product name it should be much easier to find.
Google Translate or [url]http://kanji.sljfaq.org/[/url] if you're willing to give it a try.
Looks like it says めにぼ (menibo), or possibly めにほ (meniho) or めにぽ (menipo). Didn't find anything else though
His name is Tashiro Masashi, can't find the original video but did find similar "funny" ones.

[sp]I found all this through reverse image search, so you didn't try hard enough ;)[/sp]
This quest SUCKED. We were supposed to span this out over 30 pages looking at cryptic images, reading government documents, and calling a Japanese newsroom.
Outside of that: Thanks for finding the source. This rules.

It's like someone told you to deliver something and the dude was 10 feet away.
Dunno what I did wrong though:

This came up when I searched the image I posted - just weird GIF collections.

"Hey, you work here? can you help me find the milk"
*points to the left*
"...oh"
I just want whatever he's eating.
Without the fact that this was around the 90s, the original avatar was so zoomed out that it looked like he was eating a Go-Gurt. I'm weird like that. :downs:

I looked into a little bit and have confirmed that this is [I]at least[/I] food. The company sells chocolate and pastries, it seems, but I can't figure out if it's one or the other.
Maybe I should track down the candy bar and recreate the dance.
Tashiro advertised the Morinaga Nouveau chocolate (japanese wiki [URL="http://goo.gl/Iggzqf"]here[/URL]), discontinued in the early '90s.
Use google translator...
Also, the gif is a clever loop, I like it :D

Morinaga (森永) is major food company in Japan known mostly for snacks. Their products are rarely sold outside of Japan, not even in most of those Japanese food markets in other countries, that probably explains why nobody knows it.
I can always use a permanent marker on a breakfast bar.
