In the suburbs of Tokyo lives Kenichi Ito, the world's fastest man on four legs. For nearly a decade, the 29-year-old Ito, long a fan of simians, has been perfecting a running style based on the wiry Patas monkey of Africa, winning himself a Guinness World Record in the process.

"You know, my face and body kind of look like a monkey, so from a young age everybody used to tease me, saying 'monkey, monkey,'" Ito said in his neat apartment, sitting in front of a large poster of a chimpanzee.

"But I wasn't really bothered because I really liked them, and somewhere inside of me I had this ambition to adopt one of their traits. When I saw a monkey that could run fast, I knew I'd found it - and from that point on I practiced running like a monkey every day."

For eight-and-a-half years the slender Ito has walked around his neighborhood on his hands and feet, wearing gloves and cleated shoes. He has turned his household chores into challenges on all fours and squats like a monkey while talking.

For fuck's sake, will someone please do something to save the Japanese economy and put young blokes like this to some sort of productive use.

Walking like a monkey/grovelling. Not much difference as far as I can see.

Playing the evolution tape backward... Pretty sure Darwin didn't see that coming...

How about some sort of travelling circus/freak show?

You're assuming this one evolved at all

I'm an optimist...

Sometimes...

And quite often proved wrong...

Would be interesting to see this guy get pissed at someone in public and start chucking terds.

Speaking of Patas monkeys, I really hope they find the assholes that did this.

Around 4:30 a.m. two men were spotted wearing dark clothing near the primate exhibit by security at the facility. Both of them fled and law enforcement haven't been able to locate the suspects. Late Saturday night a gray baseball cap was found with a distinctive skull printed on it they believe belonged to one of the attackers.

According to ABC News, the Patas monkey was killed due to blunt force trauma to the head and neck. Police were analyzing blood to learn if it was from one of the zoo attack suspects or the animal.

Wasn't me, but I fully support them.

The primates or us, no place for both on this planet.

A good monkey is a dead monkey.

If it had been a sledgehammer to a bag full of kittens, I could sympathize.
