Stone Cold Silver Tetsuya
On a trip home to Japan for the Golden Week in May 2019, Naoya Kudo decided he wanted to have his grandfather Silver Tetsuya try on some of his clothes as entertainment for both of them. After taking a few photos and tweeting them out, Kudo quickly realized that Tetsuya was becoming a viral hit, and decided to create an Instagram and Tumblr page so he could share more pictures of his grandfather.
In just six weeks, Tetsuya’s Instagram page @slvr.tty, run by Kudo, has gained 100K followers and counting. Kudo said he has been gaining up to 10,000 followers a day.
