Machii has appeared on Japanese several times, showing off his amazing skills. This slick ad is for mobile phone carrier Softbank, and a good reminder that when fried shrimp are used as deadly weapons, then Machii is the dude to call.

No doubt, he’d be handy for slicing fruit and chopping vegetables.
