Illustration of the Engadget Man by Maywa Denki

In anticipation of his upcoming performance at the Engadget party that was held last night in Tokyo, artist/performer Nobumichi Tosa of Maywa Denki drew this charming illustration of what he predicted the typical "Engadget Man" would look like. He points out details like glasses, clean hair, backpack, a small goatie, a rather expensive shirt, Uniqlo pants, an iPod, and leather shoes.

Tosa writes this in the most inoffensive, matter-of-fact way, more as an artistic impression than as a judgmental stereotype. He mentions below the illo that Make Japan also has parties like this, but that somehow the Engadget Man gives the impression of being cleaner and better-off than the Make Person.
