Tokyo¡¯s queer scene is finally getting some representation in the world of ¡°RuPaul¡¯s Drag Race.¡±
Earlier this month, Endigo ¡ª a Swedish drag queen, musician and YouTuber based in Japan¡¯s capital ¡ª stepped into the ¡°werkroom¡± of ¡°Drag Race Sverige,¡± a Swedish off-shoot of drag queen RuPaul¡¯s award-winning reality television show, joining eight other queens who are competing for a cash prize and crown. Their opening line? ¡°¡¯¡± (¡°¡®Drag Race,¡¯ here at last¡±).
Originally a visual-kei rocker from Stockholm, Endigo launched a successful YouTube channel in 2014, specializing in ¡°meme music¡± and absurd humor. Endigo¡¯s videos also explore their deep love for Japanese pop culture in the form of music, games, cartoons and Harajuku fashion. They took their love a step further by moving to Tokyo in 2019.
