Santa’s ability to fly around the world in a single evening, deliver millions of presents and even squeeze his sizeable frame down several chimneys would seem like a fairly phenomenal feat — a superhuman one even.
But not necessarily in Japan, as the bearded and obese one would appear to have been unceremoniously superseded by the somewhat more svelte, Santa Man X.
A slimmed-down slightly sinister model much more suited to the modern world.
Maybe.
