Yes! It's a real job! ---- and the rabbit hole goes mind-blowingly deep on this one!! Wanna know more? here's the follow-up interview! ua-cam.com/video/T_UNk7e97XQ/v-deo.html
**Have you ever lost a pet? Leave a comment and join the discussion**
HUGE Love and thanks to the Patreon crew for making it possible for me to dedicate nearly a YEAR to a single project~
I haven't had any of my pets get *lost* per say, but I have a cat that likes to sneak out of the house and back in, and a turtle that is still tiny and gets in any space you think it *won't* be,. So they're not lost, just resting in very unique places 😅
Our dog got out of the yard and ran away overnight when I was a kid. We still lived in a pretty rural area so my dad and I took the car (a big 80s sedan) and drove over to an undeveloped subdivision near ours: no houses yet but roads were all poured. For some crazy reason he decided to go overland, but the car got hung up on a drainage culvert thing. I was about 8 years old and couldn't help. Out of nowhere a young guy and gal in a pickup truck drive up and ask if we need help. The guy and Dad are trying to move the car when the girl says, "oh what a cute dog!" & Here comes our dog running right up to us. It was a very weird turn of events but very glad we got her back. 💜
I thankfully haven't lost a pet but I wouldn't know what I would do if I had as I don't even think a pet detective would exist here in England. Guess that's also a reason as to why I wont get a cat, feel like they can go missing a lot easier than dogs.
Yes, my dog used to run away all the time. it was awful. luckily never overnight as i always found him. he loved the sound of my dads quad bike so just driving around the area with it guaranteed he'd be back soon 😂
Our boy cat is a chronic escapee. He likes to hide in the bushes in the front of our house or run to the neighbor behind us. All of which make him particularly hard to find as he is a black cat and he mostly slips out at night. We bought a red flashlight that's advertised as a predator light. It reflects back his eyes when he's hiding and we've been able to get him back every time. This discovery was after that time he was gone for 4 days and I designed, printed, and went door-to-door to post over 150 missing posters on the coldest nights on the year...but then he came back when we left his litter box in the garage...🤦♀️
oh my goodness it feels like this team of pet detectives need to have their own channel! I would love to see them back on yours in the meantime!
That would be SO exciting, they could totally start by shooting in the car and using cat footage with voice over to begin. Although having someone with Norm’s expertise and editing would be ideal. This felt like the beginning of another offshoot from Tokyo lens. ❤
I would love that and watch every episode!
They do have their own channel, but so far it only has a few instructional videos on it. It's linked on their website.
I would definitely watch that!
I was thinking how cool it would be if there was like a tv show or youtube channel that just followed pet detectives around
how cute she is even trying to find the pets in her dream. What kind-hearted team. Thank you Norm for introducing us to this surprising job and these super-humans
Superhuman is the least one could say, Toyama was working hard for 12 hours+ that's a lot of working hours. And they're all extremely passionate about the job as well, I can't give them enough praise for their job.
A pet detective? I now know what to do with my life. But seriously, thank you for sharing his story with us! 💖
Haha I considered a career change, myself lol
@Tokyo Lens it is a tempting change! Not only does it seem exciting but also rewarding, but man do we appreciate what you're doing now lol
@@Lavend33r the only downside would be the inevitable failures in one way or another...I can only imagine how painful those would be
@@halomerc5423 it definitely takes a special kind of person to do it. Toyama-san even said she dreams about all of the pets that are still out there that they're searching for 😔
Ace Ventura
What a wonderfully kind man he is. Like they say not all heroes wear capes.
I think a Cape would look awesome on him though lol
@@TokyoLens most definitely, not sure how practical a cape would be for him tho lol.
Lol doing your job you choose to do is not being a hero LMAO
@@ryanyoung7433 so I guess every soldier is doing their job no matter what happens
@@pauladavitt7554 it would be for catching falling cats. Most definitely useful!
What an insanely unique and meaningful job they have! And the dedication needed to actually get these pets back home, to the point of dreaming about them so frequently. I have utmost respect and admiration for the kind-hearted team ❤
As a pet owner myself, I can definitely feel the connection they have with wanting to help others find their lost pets. They're doing an amazing job too, it seems. Big massive respect for everyone involved ^-^
Being a cat owner myself I can completely understand the worry with a pet going missing. Excellent work by such a dedicated team of people, loved the video Norm!
You can see the kindness & care in each action Mr Fujiwara(and his team) takes. It’s amazing his bond with animals formed from that run away experience in his adolescence, and that he’s continuing it in the form of a job(where he tries to reunite them w/ their family) so many years later 💙
It was so heartwarming to see Elsa found & reunited w/ her owner 😭
Wait... PET DETECTIVES ARE REAL?! I feel like a part of my childhood just came back alive knowing that the Jim Carrey movie wasn't completely fiction! Seeing Fujiwara's relief and hearing him talk about being able to sleep at night after finding their cat, and then their reaction to having her back home, was so heartwarming! You can really tell how much he loves his job and how it's 100% passion and kindness behind it.
I love how dedicated Miss Toyama sounded, she couldn't stop thinking about that lost cat, even in her sleep.
I think she was a cat in previous life and now she helps finding cats.
Whole detective agency is amazing!
Thank you Norm for showing us this.
Choice in Music is absolutely brilliant!
Man, what a cool ass video. such a cool story to hear about. Those working hours are insane, sure hope they get compensated accordingly, but I'm sure their services are incredibly appreciated. thanks for showing us this story, Norm. Losing a pet is so heartbreaking to even just think about, cant imagine what these owners must feel like and the pet rescue staff, the relief once they are able to catch the pet or the sorrow if they are unable to. I would never be able to handle that much sadness, amazing work done by everybody. Happy Elsa made it back home safely!
This is so cool! I've never lost a pet but definitely have found a few pets by chance. Felt like Disney princess cause most times they came up to me haha Thank you for sharing his story!
Thanks for sharing!!
This feels like inspiration for a Netflix drama. By pursuing the pets we learn about the owners and the character that is the city
I would have never thought there exists such a thing as a pet detective.
Me neither!!
What do you mean? How about the totally real and absolutely not made up Ace Ventura? Eh, eh?
@@LeeNTien Oh man, you are right! Forgive me for my foolishness 😄
Ace ventura
I did not expect a story about a pet detective would be this fascinating and yet here I am. Good job on this story, Norm!
There once was a time when I lost my puppy, 😔 it's a shame there are no pet detectives in my country. Thanks for the video, Norm!👍
Sorry to hear that 😔
Thanks for watching
As someone who grew up with a lot of pets around and having had to search for missing ones more than once, i kinda really love the idea of these people who make it their job to search for missing animals. In some ways a missing pet can be worse than a dead one because you worry about it. I have great respect for these three people thank you for telling us about them.
This group of pet detectives are amazing! You can feel how important each case is to them and the story with the person grabbing mr. Fujiwara by his throat was shocking! I hope they can expand or get more people to help them by volunteering their time! Amazing video as always!
You just consistently keep opening up new aspects of Japan that I never got to see while I was there. This video was so interesting and totally made me cry 😭
Morning Norm! I understand why you were so pumped for this video. I agree that I didn't know this was a real job, and very excited to see it.
Thanks for bringing this to us
Hahaha yea this is why I haven’t stopped talking about it lol
Haha indeed. Just yesterday my wife and I were watching the bit when Norm was talking about "theres this job I'm excited to share with you." ...I popped in here to leave a quick comment, got to the title, and had to get the wife. "He posted the job video, and you're not going to believe what it is!" haha
I found myself holding my breath throughout even though I had every confidence that you wouldn’t post a video with a heartbreaking conclusion. The kindness that the pet detectives showed to the owners and animals is incredible.
Thank you for sharing and take care!
P.S. I keep getting a “Morse” vibe from your music and am loving it!
You can really see their passion for finding lost pets! What a unique experience capturing a job like this that most people probably haven’t ever realized even exists. Thank you for sharing with us! ☺️
He has such a cool and mysterious aura to him and seems to take his job very serious. His back story is amazing too. What an incredible man! People like him make me love humanity 🥰
Ahhhhh this is so cool! Thanks for sharing this with us! That would have been a crazy adventure to follow them on their search for lost pets.
Massively fortunate that I could~
Did NOT see that career coming!! 😃 Excited to see how this one rolls out!
Truly wild~
It's crazy something like this exists, even crazier they have such a high success rate. Another great video Norm.
I love how you always manage to surprise us with new amazing people and their stories! You could tell that they really care about their clients‘ pets. Thank you for bringing us along!
As a pet lover I’ve always had this need to help others find their lost pets, and I’m so happy it’s an actual job in Japan! It shows how much they care about the little ones, which is honestly very wonderful ☺️
And I love how all the cases you covered got resolved!! They’re a very professional and dedicated pet detective team 👏🏽 I hope they end up resolving many more!
Thank you Norm for showing us this lovely and interesting side of Japan!!
I love how involved the community is in this as well, seems like they really bring everyone together
The amount of compassion and dedication that they have makes each case feel special… how fortunate these pet owners are if their case is taken. Hope they are able to continue this wholesome endeavor now and into the future!
Oh man... they were so happy to have Elsa back. Actually warmed my heart to see it. Thanks for the wholesome moment Norm! I think we all really appreciate the effort you take to find this kind of new content. Excited to see even more.
This was an amazing watch! This agency could have their own show! I was deeply touched by Fujiwara-sans life story. Keep up the amazing work team! ❤
Gonna have to wait til tomorrow to watch this. But glad to be here early for once! Thanks for all the content Norm, love it as always!
Thanks for swinging by!!!
Im so glad that this proffesion exists. I wish it were a thing here in sweden to find missing pets. Such nice ppl 🥰 thank you for another good and informative video. Recently though sweden passed though a law that we need to chip all cats incase they get lost. Its a step in the right direction🙌
Thanks for always being here Sisley 😊
Hope your day is great!
@@TokyoLens same to you 🥰
This was heart-warming to watch. Not all stories have happy endings but I'm glad all of these did. Thank you for including the results of the others that were missing towards the end. 👍✌️
I don't own a pet right now, but having spent almost all my time growing up with a cat in the house I know how heartbroken I would be if my pet suddenly disappeared. Elsa's owner getting close to tearing up in the beginning definitely hit a chord with me. What a wonderful and meaningful job these people are doing, and seeing them so dedicated to find other people's pets is truly inspiring.
This is a VERY interesting video! I don't see a lot of videos on pet cultures &/ treatment in Japan so this is definitely something new. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!
What amazing dedication they all have and to go from living with strays and lost animals to helping them get home, incredible. Also dude was a silver fox for sure haha.
The dedication they have is incredible
This is honestly one of my favorite UA-cam videos now. Thank you for sharing this. I never would've thought this was a real job, and to see the whole team of pet detectives being so passionate about their work it's just something amazing.
Notification squad! Interesting topic, will definitely watch in full later. Hope you have a good day Norm
You too!!
I love this, i am glad there is someone who cares enough to go out of their way and make sure people find their beloved pets. I don't know what I'd do if my cats ran away like that :,( they aren't just pets, they are our friends . Thank you for sharing Norm!!!
We appreciate your dedication and commitment on this channel. May God bless you.
Cheers
I agree! Awesome subject!
This is so cool!! I think this has gotta be one of my favorite videos from you!
It's amazing to me to see Fujiwara San have such a unique career, truly Japan is a place of wonder.
I know this is unrelated to the video, but I just wanted to say that I just officially got accepted to language school in Japan! I know I've already said this before, but thank you again Norm for being a big help in my decision to officially move to Japan. I look forward to see what you cook up next! 🗾
PS: I edited my original comment on the giveaway to better suit it. Though regardless of the giveaway, I mean what I say. I wouldn't have even made it this far if it wasn't for creators like you showing me why Japan is so great!
You can literally sense the passion and dedication they have for their job, especially the girl at 8 mins in.Props to Mr Fujiwara and Ms Toyoma !
as a cat mum, I know how hard it is to lose a pet. Such an amazing team of people bring hope to those who have lost a family member 💕💕💕
you are a cat?
@@bmkmymaggots sure, yeah xD
Woah such a cool and interesting topic to cover man, your channel is just so diverse!
Haha thanks eh~
Wow, I didn’t think pet detective was a real thing. Respect to Toyama and Fujiwara for there dedication in helping owners find their pets.
I had a pet cockatiel that flew out the front door after getting startled. We kept the cage outside hoping she'd fly back but we never found her. What a great service they are offering.
I've been watching so many of your videos, after i got introduced to your channel, and i just saw this one, and it broke my heart that so many pets get lost, and then got a very fuzzy and warm feeling that there are humans out there (At least in japan) who are literally pet detectives, and they go out and try to search for peoples pets, and i just wish that the US had something like that. As i lost 2 cats a few years ago, and it broke my heart to never see them again, and only recently i got news that, (one) they were saved and rehoused and (two) that shortly a few months ago they both passed away from old age, but were happy and taken care of very well. And overall, i just love animals so much, they teach us humans things that we didn't even know was possible, such as being able to love and being able to care for our little companions. I just wanna say thank you for making your channel, and thank you for introducing me to your channel, as well as introducing me to life in japan, one of the countries i forever have been wanting to go too, but just never had the money to do so, so thank you as said to introducing me to such a wonderful country.
Losing a pet is deviating, this job is one we didn't know we needed but I'm glad they exist!
never knew how much work went into bringing pets home to their owners. The dedication by this team is so admirable and they clearly love animals. Also had no idea that beetles were also an animal that one could hire a service to track down as well and I find that super interesting!
What an amazing job to have. I've never had a pet go missing and I can only imagine how sad and disheartening it is to have happen. I'm really glad Mr. Fujiwara and his team are doing what they're doing. It must mean so much to the people they help.
Seems like an interesting job
Super fun!
finally found the time to catch up with the videos now that it's christmas break. this job is so unique and cool! these people are absolutely amazing for going through such lengths to return pets to their rightful homes. you can just tell how passionate they are about their jobs 🥺💞
I would totally watch a regular series of this! What an amazing job they have! I was rooting for them the whole time to find Elsa
Woah, that has to be such a challenging job but, the reward of reuniting a family member has to feel amazing. These guys are beautiful people!
What a great service to provide. Unless you are a pet owner you don't realise how possible it is to get attached to these lil furballs. When they go missing, or are hurt, it's like a family member in trouble. Good for them. Cheers Norm.
I love the phrasing of "people detective" for the one guy. Saying "real detective" doesn't sound right considering how much work they put into finding pets
Oh my gosh, this is one of my most favorite things. People with so much passion and care doing a job to really help people, they truly care as much as their clients! It is truly a dream to find a job that fills your life so fully, I have so much respect for them!
I don't know if I could do it, I would get way too emotionally involved and distressed if I couldn't find a pet
if only something like this was in america! the pet detectives’ meticulousness is commendable for sure
Really interesting story. I have cats that are strictly indoors. Had a cat when I was younger who'd always try and get out the door. She'd have hiding spots and bolt to the door whenever she heard it open. Thankfully she was always either caught at the door or just outside when she wanted to eat grass.
I love these little personal and very genuine experiences you seem to be able to find with people. Always intriguing and quickly gets me emotionally invested in whoever you're spending time with.
What wonderful, good, kind, empathetic souls these people are.
What an interesting and complicated profession! You can tell everyone on the team really cares about bringing the pets home safely. I'm so glad all the cases you showed were successfully solved!
It's so heartwarming to see this group of people take this job so seriously, when many people may underestimate the importance a lost pet could have to the owner. This was really cool to see, and your videography skills added so much to the experience. Thanks again Norm!
I love documentary stories like this. It's a window into real life elsewhere and this looks like a really nice team of dedicated people.
Love to see these people so passionate about what they’re doing.
I think when I win that trip to Tokyo I’ll bring my fiancé and see if we can work with them part time haha
The drama, the editing, fantastic music, this is one of your best Norm. Great work.
I’m so happy this exists! They provide such a great service to people who lost something very important to them. And with such a high success rate!
Japan is the best country to open any kind of business, because you will always have some kind of customers to cater to!
The detectives look like super nice people :)
Moreover it seems like a fun job if it is not raining or snowing haha
This video shows why this channel is so good. Such an interesting story and heartwarming to see Elsa-Chan return home!
This is so cool!! I'd love to see more of these, and see what varieties of pets the team are asked to find. Their job would be extremely important in the eyes of so many people, finding lost family members. I love how you keep finding these awesome and interesting humans!! 🙏🏻
Not the first career path you think of but certainly a job where you can make many people very happy. It’s also really cool that this job where he can help other people helped him out of homelessness.
The relief on Elsa's owners face when they got her back is so heartwarming! This job existing never even crossed my mind, how rewarding it must feel to be able to reunite the owners with their babies 💜💜 my babies have gotten out this year and the relief I felt getting the call from the people in the neighborhood that found them was undescribable
Much love from Arizona 💜
And there's the palm thocked to the forehead moment, lol. In the livestream the other day, you compared yourself to a cat in the narrow backstreets. This is amazing. The patience required is next level, but I know the owners truly appreciate being reunited with their pets and view it as totally worthwhile. 🥰
Thanks for sharing all these unique jobs from japan with us!
Honestly amazed. I've had cats, and I've had cats get out as well. It was amazing to see how the pet detectives tackled each challenge and I learned a lot! Thanks for the video!!
wow i didn't even know a job as this one even existed, as an animal lover its great to see someone tries to make a diffrence for the people who lost a pet. Its very intresting to see the proces of finding a lost pet
This is the content I never knew I needed!
😊
This was such a heartening video! I'm so glad there's a team dedicated to this who are really empathetic to both the pet and their owner. This was really neat to see - thank you for filming it!
I woke up three hours earlier than I normally do so I could be here relatively early and I am not disappointed. Mr. Fujiwara is awesome !!
This video was highly unique I have not seen anything like that. I like how you treat these people like the main characters and you are the one whos just filming. Almost like a movie. Love your content.
As someone who's somewhat specialized in the topic of animal forensic sciences, it's interesting to see the practical side of the business as opposed to the more laboratory-based scientific approach to things such as pet runaways, theft cases, etc.
Interesting topic Norm, and cool that you were able to follow along with mr. Fujiwara's investigations for a bit!
Really interesting that that kind of job actually exists! Would have been nice if that kind of service was available in Sweden when I was young at lost my cat.
Loved this video! I was fully invested the entire time, would honestly love to see another video with the pet detectives!
You always bring us so many interesting people and experiences to see, thanks for that Norm.
An unexpected job but a very wholesome one, it's great to see these pet detectives putting in so much genuine effort to reunite the owners with their pets!
This is so incredibly cool! You get to see the most inspiring and unique parts of Japan and sharing that with us is so awesome. Thanks Norm!
What a great service they offer for people. I personally don’t have pets, but have in the past. They can become like family.
What an amazing video! this made me so emotional. Good to see people that care so much, thank you for sharing this experience with us 💖
Such an interesting story! I love how you always find a way to document something completely new to most people and keep it interesting all the way throughout!
Truly excellent film. Really well shot and the pace was excellent. Interesting people and job.
Not home right now, but I can't wait to see this !
Enjoy later!! Haha
Only in Japan you can find really specific jobs like this and I'm glad they exist! Ngl I teared up when the owners were reunited with the cat. I could see so much love in their eyes. Having 3 cats myself I know the anxiety of a missing cat very well so it's good to see there are people who chose this profession. As usual, thank you for showing us a snippet of their world Norm.
Ahhhhh!!! A real life pet detective!! Glad the cases you showed were resolved!
There are sometimes very unique jobs in the world, but this job brings back a loved one and definitely has more rewards than some managerial positions. When my grandfather's dog ran away, because I like it very much. We searched intensively with the whole family for three days until we found him in a hole in the forest, where he couldn't get out and my grandpa had lost all hope but was overjoyed when we found him again. That filled my heart at the time to see my grandfather so filled with happiness.
Amazing video Norm! The quality of your productions just get better and better. Thank you for bringing to light this absolute gem of a team!
