The Impostor

The Impostor is often called the Loki of Japan. He is the de facto king of trickery, mischief, and deceit. His origin is unclear, and his motives even more so. Whether he simply does this for his own entertainment, personal gain, or some higher purpose is simply not known. What is known, however, is that he will impersonate just about anyone, often ruining that person's reputation in the process. Many a Japanese lord has fallen from grace as a result of The Impostor's work. In many parts of Japan there are precautions said to keep The Impostor away, but it is unknown if these truly work, or if they are mere superstition.

Momoclo have crossed paths with The Impostor several times. The first time was during Tohjinsai 2014, when he appeared in the form of The Arena Man. Whatever mischief he attempted to fool the girls into was interrupted, when the real Arena Man came on stage, exposing the fraudster. He also showed up during the recording of the music video for The Golden History, then in the form of a woman. For once it appeared he really had no tricks up his sleeve, as he simply cheered the girls on and wished them good luck. However, given the trickster nature of the entire music video, it is possible that he had a hand in engineering the whole thing. Whoever it was that gave The Manager the idea for the music video, it is possible that person was not who The Manager thought them to be.
