what dapper gentlemen⁠ ⁠ 71-year-old man Hisao Mitani has spent nearly three decades caring for Bon-chan, a 27-year-old African spurred tortoise weighing about 154 pounds. ⁠ ⁠ The pair are a familiar sight in the Tsukishima neighborhood, where Bon-chan often strolls the streets wearing custom outfits like rain jackets and caps. Mitani began walking Bon-chan daily after the tortoise experienced a major growth spurt around age 10. ⁠ ⁠ Adopted in the late 1990s when he was small enough to fit in a hand, Bon-chan has since grown into a local celebrity and remains inseparable from his owner.⁠ ⁠ 📽️Video by: Gabe Jung⁠ 🤳Click our linkinbio to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #reel #tokyolife #japannews #petnews #tortoise #africanspurredtortoise #exoticpets #petowners #animalstories #viralpet #tokyo #tsukishima #wholesomenews #humananimalbond #seniorlife #dailywalks #petcare #reptilelover #animalnews #asianews #japanlife #cutea...
