His outrage-causing actions included abusing free samples of food and drying his hair with a public hand dryer.
The travel influencer known as Yikeshu, who boasts nearly 200,000 followers on a major mainland social media platform, claimed to be a 21-year-old student at Hainan University in Haikou, Hainan province, southern China.
He gained online attention for documenting his budget travel in a video titled “Welcome to watch my day travelling Osaka for 100 yuan (US$14)”.

His disruptive behaviour reportedly began the moment he landed at Kansai International Airport.
