Japanese Man dated cockroach called Lisa for a year and said she was 'hotter than any girl'

Yuma Shinohara fell in love with a cockroach called Lisa 

Yuma Shinohara, 25, from Japan, said he fantasied about them having sex and imagined a world when they could consummate their love
This man gives a new meaning to the words “sex pest’ after he confessed he dated a cockroach called Lisa for a year who he obsessed about having sex with.

Yuma Shinohara, 25, called the bug his “first love” and said though the relationship was platonic he fantasised about bedding her - either with himself insect-sized or with Lisa being human-sized.


He also said that no human girl was as “hot” as Lisa and that they were “100 per cent serious” about each other.


But events took an even more macabee turn when Lisa died - and Yuma ate her.

They were together for a year - and it was 'serious', he said

Yuma is an entomophagist, which means he advocates and practises eating insects as an alternative to meat for environmental reasons.

He is well known for organising bug eating contest in his native Japan.

In a video interview with Asian Boss, Yuma said he bought Lisa as an African farm-reared cockroach and that he believed they could communicate with each other.

He also said that as a entomophagist it was only natural he ate her once she died.

Yuma added:  “I did it with reverence.

But after she died Yuma ate her 

"The day she passed away was difficult but I knew it had to come since she was a cockroach with a short life span.

"So now Lisa lives in my heart and continues living as part of my body."

Eating insects is becoming more popular as an alternative to meat because less land is used for farming and less damage is caused to the environment as a result.

Yuma habitually eats bugs as a alternative to meat

Yuta said he does eat other food but there was a wide variety of tastes among edible insects.

For instance, caterpillars which eat cherry blossom taste like rice cake, he added.
