In anticipation of his upcoming performance at the Engadget party that was held last night in Tokyo, artist/performer Nobumichi Tosa of Maywa Denki drew this charming illustration of what he predicted the typical "Engadget Man" would look like. He points out details like glasses, clean hair, backpack, a small goatie, a rather expensive shirt, Uniqlo pants, an iPod, and leather shoes.
Tosa writes this in the most inoffensive, matter-of-fact way, more as an artistic impression than as a judgmental stereotype. He mentions below the illo that Make Japan also has parties like this, but that somehow the Engadget Man gives the impression of being cleaner and better-off than the Make Person.

Among the other things the Japanese are good at, they're good at assuming stereotypes. 'course just by stating that, I'm guilty of it myself. Oh well. No negative vibes intended!
I wanted to know what a Make Man looked like. So I made one, lol.
