The company had several meetings and fittings with Doko to create a costume that resembles a real Collie.
It took a total of 40 days to make the costume, and the production cost was a whopping 2 million yen (about 20 million won).
A company official explained, "Because the skeletons of dogs and humans are very different, it took a long time to study how to look like a dog."

When the costume was complete, Ms. Doko posted a video of her wearing a collie outfit on her social media account, along with the caption, "I realized my dream of becoming an animal."
In the video, Mr. Toko was shown walking on quadrupeds like a real collie, waving his front paws and rolling on the floor.
The video has garnered more than 1.7 million views.
Netizens who saw the video left comments such as "I think it's a real dog. The costume is well made", "I didn't know it was a human at first", "I wonder how the dogs will react when they see it in real life."
In an interview with Japan's Minavi News, Toko said, "Among animals, I like cute animals that walk on four legs. .
He continued, "When I wear the costume, I have a little bit of limited movement, but I am really happy and satisfied that my dream of being an animal has come true."
