In fiction, folklore, and popular culture, a doppelgänger is a tangible double of a living person that typically represents evil. In the vernacular, the word doppelgänger has come to refer (as in German "doppelt(e)") to any double or look-alike of a person.
The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. Doppelgängers are often perceived as a sinister form of bilocation and generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. (Wiki)
Very creepy. I swear I saw Jujiin's doppelganger in Shibuya.
He was playing drums while handing our fliers in front of a Pachinko parlor.
In fact he handed me a flier. When I looked at his face, I got shocked at the Jujiin impostor. (see below)
So shocking
OK fine. Jujiin is much better looking. But I tell you I was really shocked.
I also realized which of my friends have the most impostors in Tokyo, besides Jujiin:
1) Andre Chang. I can't tell you how many boys sport the Freddie Aguilar hairstyle, no offence to Mr. Chang :)
2) Daryl Chang, his sister
3) Ryan Vergara
Take note that none of those mentioned have Japanese blood.
You might be wondering why Garovs was not named. Only because I think she looks more Korean than Japanese.
This is Garovs
and this is her Korean doppelganger, Jinny Kim at Park Jun Salon
