Kyunkun is a girl born in Tokyo who defines herself as a “Robot Fashion creator”. She started making wearable prototypes using arduinos and LEDs and little by little she evolved her style by adding mechanical elements. Her latest model is some kind of bag with arms coming out of the back. For the moment this is just a hobby and to make a living she does temporary work “baitos” バイト.
In the following videos you can see the process followed by Kyunkun to create her “wearable” robot models.

They are easy to spot in a menu or in street food stalls because they are almost always barbecued and served with skewers.
