You are getting to be so famous in Tokyo man! everybody wants to take a picture with you! haha I'll search for you if i go to Tokyo xD

why are you carrying a rolli and now an ipod? ^^

Lucky, Danny...^_^

I'll have to get a Japanese girlfriend when I head back this time...^_^

Danny always gets the cute girls XDDD

Rock on Danny, looks like you had some fun, looking forward to seeing what's up your sleeve next.

oh my. i got not words.

I cant believe how many comments accumulated even before I released this article ^^;

wow, nice one xD

N1. Dance, Yeah, Dance!

Caption part:

Girl Ask "is you dolphin armored too?"

I experienced the same feeling while cosplaying, it is indeed enjoyable & fun doing it for us Passionate Enthusiast ^^
"You never know until you try" ~ No Asumption, JUST DO IT!
The world I see while I'm in my costume as "Commander Chaos" is pitch black & "Clone Trooper" is blurry (can't fit in my wide glasses) ^^; http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/image/6595/Konata+no+Tease.html

*looking at Pics of Danny with younger girls* Hmmm...pedo-Trooper? ^^; Kidding, kidding...

Girl says: "-Hold the Roli to your pelvis, and make music while shaking-"

Damn it, I missed you by a day Danny, noooo!!! I'm so close to Shibuya too, currently staying at Shin Okubo right now T_T Too bad I won't be seeing Danny in action during this stay, boo >.>

Iyaa, I hope I bump into ye olde trooper at least once before I leave Japan!

Stormtrooper+SOSDan Armband+Optimus Voice+Speakers+Neon Lights= OVERKILLAWESOMESAUCE.
As for the Caption:

Girl: I'm sorry, but there's no room down there to fit the rolly into >_<

Done in the name of fun, hope you dun take offense ^^;

People here in Manila are more or less kind but shy. and hella conservative.

huuummm rica ricas girls

tell us, how many girlfriends are on you list, danny?

When i went to Japan i didnt meet anyone who wasn't kind... but guess i just went to the right spots. ;)
Seems you had a load of fun once again. o/

wow your wife must really Luv you! not jealous one bit? try this caption on!

http://a836.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/84/l_cfff56118c0d89920d5c7c532e133923.jpg

The only person in Japan that didn't like me was this businessman after telling him he was sat in my seat on the Shinkansen. He showed me his ticket and said (in Japanese obviously) "See, seat c26..." to which I replied (in Japanese) "Um... this is seat c36..." I got some evil stares off him for the rest of the journey lol!

I'm not one for captions normally, but...

"My! What a big helmet!!"

Tokyo's main mascot in full action ^-^. Can't wait to hear what all the 'stuff' was about and what it will do for the site in the future.

I'm envious! Danny had a girl-fest! What a nice understanding wife you have. ^^

That's awesome stuff you're doing and cool that your wife is joining in...ever thought of getting her some armor and have her joining you?

Darn I should have commented earlier! I saw this minutes ago with no description so I thought my connection was buggy. Oh well!

I have never been surrounded by that many people before.. and I probably never will. Lucky you Mr Danny x_x

hmm.. lot's of young girls.. おばあちゃんたちはいないか。。

Looks like loads of fun!! ^_^

As for the " are peeps nice in your area" its a big no... i live in birmingham in the U.K and everyone is hostile towards each other, can't even smile at someone without getting funny looks, sooner i finish uni the better!

The V sign is in 95% of the pictures. Also, needs more Street Fighter poses Danny! LOL

As for the caption:
"Danny you bastard, I got rick roll'ed!"

lol one guy is like "WHOA A STORMTROOPER!"

Great pictures:)

hahaha LOOOVED the pictures! to bad I never caught you doing this when I was living in Japan :-p

Hey danny, I'm just wondering if you're free between now and about mid-late September? I will be back in Tokyo during this time, so if you're free, I'd love to meet up.

I've sent you an e-mail regarding this already, so please take a look!

Much appreciated =]!

nice pictures! always love seeing your trooper stuff

Let's see... I kissed all the members of a popular girl band before. Does that count?

Anyways, Nippon BANZAI! Is it even possible to meet you, one of my heroes, ever? When I'm in Japan, I really wish to speak with you. :)

heh heh! nice pics and cute girls in most of the photos too. people here are quite helpfull but at times can can the other way round too. depends in which mood the person you're talking to is in.

girls seems to like knights in shinny white armour. ('~')

You're very lucky Danny, so many girls around you ^^

MAybe i should get an armor suit to get chicks around me
;__;

I wonder whats the fascination with storm troopers. I see them everyday o.O

I love Shibuya; it's a totally fun place to hang out, and it's always loaded with beautiful girls. I can hardly wait to go there again. OK here's my captioned photo; it's kind-of cliche but at the same time it's a classic. Sorry Danny!!! I couldn't resist it-- you're practically asking for this one! Hint-- the girl is Princess Leia. :)

WOW !!
I wanna take picture with the storm trooper too !! haha^^

I found people in Japan quite polite, friendly, and helpful. Although they tend to keep to themselves as much as possible especially on trains.

Looks like you had a great time with all the girlies...

That's really cool to get to meet all those people on the streets. Guess you are really popular huh since people there watch you on YouTube.
Sometimes I envy how lucky you are ^_^

wow, You are very famous Danny (as a Trooper...)
Dont worry to see the world in green. I bet its the best green you could have. Also, I love the pictures you post.
Very cool and awesome!!

Stormtrooper Costume = many cute japanese girls around :)

Way to go Danny! Shibuya always got the hot girlies! Take the world by storm!

Caption:
"So that is what storm troopers use to stuff their cod pieces!"

Is that a thermal detonator or are you just pleased to see me?!

Alot of cute Japanese girls, I like...
And too bad I missed the monkey LOL

some of those photos can pass off for a movie poster! if i didn't know any better i would have thought there was gonna be a stormtrooper movie
storyline would be a stormtrooper sent back in time by accident and getting into all sorts of mishap... ok i fail as a movie writer hurhur
btw danny, can we have a wallpaper version of this
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dannychoo/2785911071/sizes/o/
it would look great on my laptop :)

Awesome pictures as always, i'm looking forward to the manga adaptation of 'Tokyo Stormtrooper' ^^

Nice pices Danny! In my region you can find both mean and nice people, it really is luck of the draw. But if you find a mean person, they can be really really mean....

I am glad I am a featured feed then haha (not that I wasn't before, it's been awesome). Yaaay for Danny!!!

Danny, have you considered having an iPod hooked up to a non-helmet speaker? Then if you still need an in-helmet feed, you could use a splitter and an FM transmitter to get it there. Cheap and easy to do with much more widely available parts.

you got some awesome pictures in that batch, and thanks for the random Japanese lessons!

Wow, those are cool pics Danny, I love Japanese chicks ^_^ they are so kawaii
I hope one of these days I'll be walking in Shibuya, maybe I'll borrow your armor to have the girlies all around me haha.

Cheers

Someone asked you why youre doing this?Sounds to me like a stupid question...
Whats cooler than dancing around in stormtrooper armor?

I can only think of naughty captions since your finger points at your crotch^^

(im)patiently waiting for this announcement! :P

Fantastic post, man. Bevvy of girlies you've got there. ^^; The wife doesn't get jealous? A friend of a friend just came back with his future shufu after he was living in Japan for like 3-4 years, and apparently she governs every aspect of his life here now, it's kinda manga/anime worthy and cute and funny (though not so much for him >>).

Kakkoii yo!!!!!!!!!!
ah that looks like fun. I agree with the reasons why you do this. I got to eb my schools mascot and was wearing the wild car crazy outfit for all the sports events and i did it cause IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. you get to interact with people on whole other level and can make it far more entertaining. I miss doing that!

Looks like you are on the way to celebrity status Danny. I wonder if it will get to the point that walking around in the trooper gear will make travel difficult.

Great pics! Oh my I want to go to Japan right now! xD
Also, nice Stormtrooper armor mod, maybe later you can shoot actual beam after many mods! xD

Ever thought about different costumes? Or is it trooper only?

they can't resist a man in uniform. :3

haha love the photos! So many cute girls to make friends with lol.
Ever have anybody dress up as other star wars characters and wait at one of the places you frequent in your armor just to meet you? lol

The caption photo is sooo sus

haha nice pics, it'd be hilarious if what suneo said actually happened, some other dude cosplaying a starwars character waited for u and challenged you to a dance off. I'd love to see taht

wonder theres any master chief halo suit in japan?~

Nice article.. Seems you had a fine, though rainy, day.. =)

Here's mine:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/28529816@N07/2787619419/

Dunno if the link is right, first time using Flickr.

Armor arm looks scratched up often..

I don't know what you know but I'm curious of where speakers (and holes) can be placed, now considering rain...

As for lighting, there's this, which I've never tried:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/your-daft-punk-homework-create-your-own-el-suit/

Great pics Danny, I just love your stormtrooper antics.
And your always surrounded by cute girls, can't say I'm not a little jealous.
There's got to be a way I can get in on some of the fun.

I've said this one to many times but that's something that would never happen here. If you dress like that and walk on our streets people will start to call you crazy and make fun of you, probably foreigners will find that funny but locals not so sure about that.

sooner or later danny is gonna be famous world wide!

Thanks for the wallpaper~! Just going edit it a little before I use it on my desktop :3
The glowing neon lights would be awesome! Orange led lights maybe? xD (Maybe the clear piping lights? Dunno just ideas)

Dan, you never cease to amaze me. =P

Oh. San Jose is a really kind city. It's one of the safest cities in the world in regards of the frequency of crimes actually. That's an added bonus right there.

Im shocked at the percentages for people being kind in their region. I selected neither because you have a mix- around 75% morons 25% nice people.

storm trooper on the loose.....i envy u with all the girls around u T.T

I live in New Jersey. That should be enough right there.

My father moved to California over 20 years ago, recently came back east for the first time in 15 years. He noticed how few people smile around here... It's crowded, people are MORE than grumpy. Not everyone is like that, but it is the majority.

I try not to let it get to me.

E^D

Wow.. a lot of girls likes trooper.

Caption: http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/6923/capcf7.jpg

Wow, nice trip on Shibuya... So much fun with all girls xD And nice pictures too Danny, you're now a famous Stromtrooper!

Hey Danny, maybe this will give you an idea on how to add the glowing neon lights to your armor: http://www.instructables.com/id/how-to-add-EL-wire-to-a-coat-or-other-garment/

It doesn't look easy, but it doesn't look so hard either! ^^

i'm so jealous, that suit is a girls magnet

WoW Danny, to be able to hug so much girls in one day !
Hahaha not everyone's able to do that xD

Hummm maybe i should buy a trooper armor too =o
But if i do so it sould be a big version, im kinda tall xD

Youre lucky to have a wife who doesnt get jealouse just because you hug some girls...mine wold kill me >.>

In any way, people simpathise with funny guys who just are doing crazy stuff.
Here where i live its the same, if i walked around in some Trooper Costume with some buddies filming, walking with music around, people would come and want to shake my hand or take some picks.
Cause, when do you shake the hand of a trooper ??

Wasnt there some people who told'ya " might the force be with you " ?
It's kinda klishe but there has to be some one who told you that XD

Anyways you're the man Dann !

hehehehehehehe, im looking forward your your darth vader cosplay~!

hahaha Danny should name these articles as Danny's Adventures!! ^^ most of the times he's surrounded by HOT GIRLS!!! LUCKY DANNY!

So many girlies! I guess people are generally nice and kind...if you don't count the thugs and etc.

Do you ever have to deodorize your armor, Danny? Or is there some kind of Lucas-age odor-eating bacteria impregnated into it?

People in my reigon are horrible. Out of all the United States, the city of Los Angeles in the Southern part of the state of California has a reputation of people not talking to one another. It is said that in other parts of the U.S. such as New York, Chicago, Denver, etc, etc....you would be forced to get into a conversation with a stranger on a regular daily basis. In Los Angeles though it's a different story. The streets of Los Angeles are getting rougher with racial wars increasing, mostly provoked by rivalries of gangs. The biggest rivalry so far is the Latino community versus the African-American community. 20 years ago it wasn't like this but because of what happens between gangs, mobbs & drug dealers, the racial tension spills on the rest of the community that doesn't even have anything to do with the gangs and the mobbs inside the jails and state prisons.

The point is, there is a 25% chance you'll meet anyone nice, let alone a girl, in Los Angeles. Everyone is sticking to their own ethnic group now and everyone constantly has to watch over their shoulder because people who don't want this kind of drama to come their way, comes around anyway.

But i do enjoy one thing about the nice people i meet in L.A. and that's the fact that they aren't even from L.A. I've met people from other states who recently moved to L.A. and they make you wish more and more residents who have lived in L.A. all their life would also be nice people.

スピカ solution! Get one of those old BIG headphones (maybe you can ask around from your audiophile friends, for those that have broken padding or where the headband broke) and a small cheap headphone amp. Remove the cans from the headband, use them like speakers. A small headphone amp is the size of a box of cigarettes, costs less than 100 USD for low end ones. Pump up the volume using the amp and you have a small portable sound system ^^

Anyone would love to flock to a Stormtrooper and take picture if they see one on the street. Especially a dancing one :D I'll camp out in Tokyo whenever I go to Japan and try to look out for you, Danny xD.

As for people around where I live... everybody is usually kind and friendly. I can't say the same about people driving on the road though...

My country's people are kind in some parts, horrible in some, and simple bo chap(don't care) in most...

great stuff, danny!! thanks for sharing. the raindrops on your armor made a nice effect; seemed more real that way, I thought.

If i ever get lucky enough to go to tokyo, I'll be sure to have a looksie for you. Maybe i could bag me a girlfriend from the kazillions of girls that the trooper outfit attracts.
Couldnt think of an interesting caption. Sorry.

omg hehe when the clone wars movie come out danny will be sensational :D

OMG I wish when I finally get to go to Japan that you'll be out doing this kinda thing again!!! Gah.... so envious of all those people.....
Can't wait for the new vid!!

Danny Have Surprise for all of us. Your site it's Amazing !!! I want a new Video of Stormtrooper Dance!!!

Hopefully! someday I go to Tokyo and Meet of course Danny Choo & Hector

Hopefully! someday I go to Tokyo and Meet of course Danny Choo & Hector

hahaha.. damn!! i dun know u in shibuya... warghhhhhh...
next time when u r goin to shibuya, pls tell me...
i'm staying near shibuya...

I am kind of seeing girls domination than world domination ^^;

People are normally kind here, but like with all things in life, always are some bastXXX that make you wish the extincion of human race. But hopefully, as I say, these are the less...

sometimes you make me jealous...

Sweet Danny, awesome photo session.

If I ever went out in a Stormtrooper suit, I think people will not come close.

Hrmm...LA is generally not a place with very nice people. Have you thought of installing speakers somewhere onto your armor that can be connected to your iPod? If I were to take a guess, the place with the most space in your armor is in back of the helmet...maybe you could put them in there?

Congratulations on all the success, Danny. ^^

That was funny. ^_^ Are those girls fans of Star Wars?

Those girls are really onto your storm trooper armors. LOL Man i really have to say those girls are pretty

Looks like i better get myself some trooper armour too.

That was pretty awesome. Some really nice and funny pictures. If a storm trooper brings this much attention I can't imagine how much Darth Vader would bring. I have to get a Darth Vader suit and start walking around the mall. Ahh no I'll get arrested.

While I was scrolling through your post, I couldn't help but imagine you come across a nemesis. Like what Falryu is saying about Darth Vader, maybe he'll suddenly appear to confront you. What would you do then? I'm thinking dance off.

Would it be possible for you to alert dannychoo.com folk beforehand when you'll be going out on a stormytroop-troop? In the future, perhaps you may encounter me as a dance off rival or ally. I still need to perfect my knee movement... --"

Hmm i wonder if chewy would get the same type of love i mean he is all furry:) Anyway i love all the pic's & captioned image. [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3746/dannychoohp0.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I hate you. My eyes are green with envy. Still waiting for that "how to get attention from women" post.

Top priority when visiting Japan: Find the Dancing Trooper. :D

Caption: "Rolly have vibration mode?"

Whoa Danny full night that was cool. How many people know your dressed as a storm trooper from SW?

All that attention makes me want to dress as a trooper. Although, I don't think I will get quite the same outcome here in the states...T_T

Danny is always so cool ^o^
I wish we had more Star Wars fans here, or Stormtroopers at least. It's so tame here ~_~

Im in Japan 15 days and Ive seen lots of cute japanese girls! I wish I had one as girlfriend... u^^
I wish I see you! Im in Akiba!

Of course, it was crowded because of the monkey. Monkeys are cool, see?

Why not keep the iPod and get some mini-speakers? You have hip-bags to put them in...
How did you get so many scratches on the forearm parts of your armour?

People in Montreal are generally loud and rude with narcissistic tendencies...
It gets a bit better if you leave the city, but people are still incredibly loud.
Sadly, I have yet to find a place that is convenient -and- has a decent sound level... convenient places are always crowded, and crowed places are always noisy =_=;

Wow, with all the comments I feel at the bottom of the barrel. Anyway, was actually wondering what she was asking in the blank comment picture?

Danny, your goal is to get a picture of you and 30 girls surrounding you!

Yes... I have a very nice picture of me and all the girls from my host brother's class when I went to a Japanese school with him. It makes me giggle whenever I see myself surrounded by cute smiling girls! :O

light emitting from the edges of your armor would be awesome! and maybe from the bottom of your helmet.
i dont know if anyone already suggested this but if you want to add glowing light to your armor i think an L.E.C flatlight would be your best bet. cool stuff

oh yeah thats danny

So awesome! I love the picture of you with the bouncers. So thug XD

Ack, forgot to copy-paste the rest of my reply.

As for people in my region, it's hard to garner conversations with random people. One time, I walked around downtown saying "hi" to people at random and they looked at me weird :(

Slightly related to your Stormtrooper bit; every year at SDSU, The TFM (television film media) department does an experiment with the local Star Wars Society and has those with Stormtrooper armor visit the classrooms and sit down during lecture. My boyfriend recently acquired Shadow Stormtrooper armor and is going to participate in this! I've only seen what happens in the papers but if I have breaks during the participating classes, I think I might sit down in the lecture and see what happens :D

Pretty cool-you look like a Stormtrooper stranded on earth.

japanese girls are sooo aweesomee!!!

Dang, I was in Japan for a couple of weeks!! xO
I didn't see you in Tokyo! Grr
Maybe next time xD

this looks way too cool

Nice trooper ^^

I could think of a few captions for that picture!:P *Imagination runs wild!* :P

Donde yo vivo la gente también es horrible, y hay gente buena también, gracias por tu post, son increíbles, sigo tu blog día a día, por cierto, kakkoii yo!, me encanto el tema y las fotos, espero algún día visitar tierras tan lejanas como Japón.
Se despide un seudo-Otaku al otro lado del mundo (Chile).

cuando cresca quiero ser como tu

Oh well...

Guy saying "you're cool" had the most awesome expression!

Eh... I think I'm gradually beginning to like 2D over 3D. XD

I like these photos! I had already one of them as wallpaper. It has to be cool to be idolize from many girls :D

Sure in my town there are so snobs that think they own the place but overal people are nice and kind. People know me for my job.

That looks so fun. If I do find my way to Japan, I'll challenge you to a dance off, xD .

You should modify the Stormtrooper suit, make it, Gundam-Trooper suit. Put a boombox on as a backpack/jet-pack noise blasting experience when you dance. Just say'n.

Caption: I know where it is Danny, there's no need to point.

w00t niice Danny!! I would love to go buy my own stormtrooper Armour and dance with you in JapanXD once im old enough too go there!! =3

you always interesting and odd. LOL
but it's you... what ever.. hah.........XD

are you getting same interest without the suit? :P

"Japanese Girls" headline with the first photo filled with young, cute Japanese chicks. You sure know how to get clicks, Danny.

Everyone was very nice and polite when I visited Tokyo, the only exception being the airport.

I love those pictures and this is my first comment as well:)

During my stay in Japan, I felt that the people were so nice-- in Tokyo and especially in Hiroshima. I really loved being there because it was so unlike NYC. Even though both Tokyo and NYC are metropolis, NYC people are ALWAYS in a rush and maybe even rude (?). -_- I love it though. ^^ I felt very welcomed in Japan which has made me miss it so much and that's why I'll be returning.

Is it me or does the girl taking pictures in image ID#21435 look exactly like Ai Takahashi?
As far as my dressing up in public experiences go i think you always get mixed reactions from the public. When I was in Istanbul I found that everyone I encountered loved the fact we were dressed up. However we found out the day after the owner of the club we were in had hired extra security to keep the locals out and from apparently killing us. The Turkish press who were buying us drinks and photographing us all night ripped us to peices in the papers the day after, we also headlined the news on the TV. Still, got to cuddle loads of girls, even pulled some random Turkish student who's email address I lost in my pink polkadot mouse suit. Doubt i'll be back in Turkey anytime soon anyways. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?page=3&aid=38726&id=535482476#/photo.php?pid=900726&id=535482476 for my get up.

lol they has the krispy kremes in japans!

it looks like such fun to be able to do that, but i'd be afraid of getting assaulted!

looks like an awesome night out...

might sound stupid but what is that thing that danny is holding in his hand? i'm intrigued by it

lol yeah danny is fun lol

Danny, I wish I could join you out there, but I don't have a SW costume; nor can I dance...
