He-he, I knew that'd get your attention. :-) The "Peeing Boy" sculpture is Tokyo's own version of the Manneken Pis (*), the famous 17th century Brussels landmark, and was dedicated in 1952 by dentist Dr. Kobayashi to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the first train line in Japan between Shimbashi and Yokohama Stations. The Peeing Boy can be seen at the southern end of the train platform at JR Hamamatsucho Station in Tokyo (for trains bound for Shinagawa).
