Former Morning Musume idol Ai Takahashi took fans by surprise with a shocking yet humorous photo post after the Tokyo run of HUNTER×HUNTER THE STAGE 3 concluded on May 25 at Tennozu Galaxy Theater.

Specifically, Takahashi—who plays the beloved character Biscuit Krueger (nicknamed “Bisky”)—uploaded a set of four photos on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. The first two images featured an extremely muscular version of Bisky, which left many questioning if it was truly her. The final two shots revealed her in full costume as the cute, pigtailed girl version of Bisky, completing what fans described as a “four-panel manga-style post.”

Fans Praise Takahashi's Social Media Skills

The post immediately sparked reactions online. Users commented with admiration and surprise:

“Since when did Ai-chan get so ripped?”
“LOL! That’s some next-level cosplay accuracy.”
“She’s way too good at using social media.”
“Wait… was there a buff person in there just now?”
“Did I just imagine that…?”

These reactions showcase how effectively Takahashi not only embodied her character but also engaged her audience in a witty and visually impactful way—mirroring Bisky’s transformation from adorable to intimidating in the original HUNTER×HUNTER series.
