Meet the Thanko CEO, the Guy Behind the Weird USB Gadgets

If you have ever read the pages of Everything USB as we cover the weird USB gadgets that pop up from the USB gloves to that wonderful USB mask and wondered who exactly is responsible for these products, here he is. Akihabaranews did an interview with the CEO of Thanko Mr. Yamamitsu. They shot some video of the interview and came away with a video of Mr. Yamamitsu showing off their products including the gold ingot hub, USB Slippers (he says over 10,000 pair of these were sold!), USB gloves, USB mask, battery charger for Wiimote and a few other items. You need to see this video as this will likely be the only time you ever see anyone admit to using these products.
