He dropped by my place the other day - I gave him a banana and wished him luck.

...That may not be too surprising..."

since many drunken Oyaji are doing the same.

The police here couldn't catch a cold, let alone a monkey. Why are there idiot police with nets instead of professional animal handlers?

somebody please post a pic of cops chasing monkey!!! Anyway, just shoot the damn thing... if you are more moral, haven't they heard of tranquilizers?

It's OK. The police will get him when he comes in for a confession! And, he will also get a suspended sentence to be served in the mountains. - You've got to wonder why this monkey hasn't been spotted more regularly and captured when it's running loose in the most densely populated city in the world. Says a lot for the culture, doesn't it?

Wait until he throws his defecate in a J-cop's face! Then he'll be labelled 'troublemaker' for sure! Hahahahaha.... this will definitely make international news!!

Just let the monkey be and stop wasting time and resources on catching him. How much harm can he be doing it?

Should be in the entertainment section. This monkey has more talent than most of the people in this section...

He/she is just doing what comes natural; monkey shines. How about the ground-bound Homo erectus? Not only do they urinate on the ground but do worse things; steal bananas, money, bikes and ATM machines. If this monkey is docile don't monkey with it. Just let it be. It's probably bringing more joy than sorrow.

Where are the Liberals? -and why isn't this Monkey's rights being protected? AFL-CIO (if said monkey is part of a union) NaaCM? ACLU?

Think japanese police are happy to have such an extraordinary even in their life.Finally they have something to do than giving directions and cleaning streets.

this monkey should put his name in for PM. He has shown clearly he can "run Tokyo" and can mostly run Japan as well.

“Then the monkey urinated to the ground,” said Toyama. “What a troublemaker. We have to catch him as soon as possible.”

I see humans doing this in Japan on a monthly basis.

I guess there are no tranquilizer guns in Japan. They should let loose one of the recent "knifers" or the 60 year-old lady that threatened the school, to rid Tokyo of this "troublemaker" that urinates in public.
