Yuta Shinohara, dated a cockroach he purchased from Africa for a year, and he was so smitten he longed to have sex with her. He talks about his love for Lisa the cockroach at around the 11:11 mark.
Shinohara is making a name for himself as the creator of bug cuisine. He organizes insect-eating events in Japan with dishes that include a bug cocktail, insect pastries and ramen with crickets and mealworms.
When he’s not in the kitchen though, Shinohara is happiest out in nature, and whenever he sleeps on his favourite tree, he describes it as heaven.
His past love is Lisa, whom he purchased from Africa and dated for a year. He became so attached to her that he started to feel as if they were communicating, but it was destined to be a short romance due to her short life span.
He did imagine having sex with her, picturing that she grew to his size or he would become as tiny as an insect.
He ate her “with reverence” after she died, “So now Lisa lives in my heart and continues living as part of my body.”
