Aight' so after laughing my ass off and saying "WTF?!?!" I looked this up and basically this is Japanese Comedian Robert Akiyama, aka Japan's equivalent of Sasha Baron Cohen (now this all makes sense). Dude plays a ton of different characters he's invented. Here he is in drag playing “famed fashion designer”, Yoko Fuchigami.

Apparently this character is popular enough that it was worthy of getting a Figuarts, just like how the longtime Downtown comedians got their own Figuarts as well(these guys are hilarious and you've probably seen some of the crazy tv challenges they're famous for on YouTube videos). I personally wouldn't mind Figuarts of the Three Stooges because they could utilize endless amounts of accessories. They could be a goldmine for Figuarts accessories packs if Bandai really ran with that idea.

Anyways, here's some website (I dunno Japanese. I just Google translate it) that shows many more personalities Robert Akiyama plays: https://creatorsfile.com/
