The legend of Hard Gay

Okay, time for me to introduce you to the comedic character Razor Ramon Hard Gay.

Quoted from the Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Gay

The most well-known character developed and portrayed by Sumitani is Hard Gay, introduced in 2002, as whom he finally rose to national prominence in 2005. While the official name is “Razor Ramon HG,” he is most frequently known as “Hard Gay,” or simply HG. Dressing in a tight black leather outfit reminiscent of the stylings of the Village People, he goes around performing acts of charity (yonaoshi, “social improvement”) for unsuspecting bystanders while performing trademark pelvic thrusts and vocalisations, often accompanied by "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin.


This is quoted from the SA thread where I was first introduced to HG:
