Something sinister's afoot in Kasukabe. Shin-chan doesn't know what it is, but he's pretty sure it involves samba-dancing doppelgängers.

A Chinese man spent Rs 3.5 crore to build a replica of his home, inspired by his favourite anime character Shin Chan, and the photos have gone viral.

The regular series follows the adventures of the five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara and his parents, baby sister, dog, neighbours, and friends and is set in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture.
