We know exactly what you're thinking: this is insanely awesome and not at all creepy, where can I get three of these (two for myself, one for my best friend)? Well, we're not really sure, but we'll tell you what we do know. His name seems to be H-Bouya and he's a USB device who blinks every time you type "h" -- as in "Hello there, my hairless, large-headed cohort (that's five, we can probably do better than that). He might do some other things like make random noises or cry when you unplug him, but he's probably just destined to take his place on your desk next to that framed photo of Han Solo and the mini-Mulder doll, silently accusing you of "not doing any work." We don't know where you can get one, or how much he'll cost, but we've got a feeling he'll be affordable.
weird...
I really think that's about all that needs to be said here.
useless.
To prevent ppl typing the word Hentai?
What is with the face. Paedophile having a good time or something.
It's wrong on so many levels. I love it.
Wow that thing freaks me out just as much as that creepy doll from SAW.
What a surprise its Japanese. What is with the Japanese. I must visit these weird and wonderful people.(one day)
I lived there for three years. I still couldn't figure them out.
Whats with the weird gadgets today? Is it a special monday that I dont know about?
First the xbox, then the bear gloves and now this?
oooooh bear gloves!
WANT
That is one big head.
That's what she said...
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah, like I need another creep bald headed guy staring creeply at me while I work.
.... but if I can turn it in another person direction... how far can I get it from me and keep typing H frenetically?
im pretty sure if you buy this and those bear gloves, you get sent straight to the sex offenders list
LOL :D
Shit.
**Cancels orders**
ha ha ha...well u just made my day!
well that's...
... different.
(He stares into your soul...)
Are those pupils some sort of wire mesh allowing web cams to hide thus giving people a means to secretly spy on you in 3D?
I just really dont understand......
Just waiting to be turned into a keylogger.
Exactly.
Me so happy my American friends still buy crap! No need cut down 100,000 daily production of top quality whoo-pee cushion.
This is, on multiple levels, disturbing.
I am pretty sure "h" in Japanese for "hentai"
H in Japanese is for "ecchi" which is related to "hentai", but not quite the same. The letter H is also simply pronounced "ecchi".
I'm kinda laughing a bit because according to a Japanese online store, its cheeks glow red and the eyes blink whenever you press the H key. The um... perverse key. There's even a blond woman on it covering her chest and saying "ahh! Your eyes are kind of perverted!" ... or something to that effect. 2500 yen for this thing, or about $27 USD.

I blinked every time I read an H on the article...
How did this not make a "Crapgadget"article????
I was wondering the same thing.
Hello, Hallowed Hearts Hurl Hateful Homies -woot 6 i beat you engadget
Can I use this in tandem w/ my PedoBear Typing Gloves?
Yes, but does it hump your USB drive?
Nope.. Your job is safe for now.. ;)
Wow, is that how McCain looked in his childhood. Now don't ask me who he is.
Seriously, where the hell can I buy one?
-Tj-'s got it right:
Wikipedia: H, or ecchi
"The English use of "hentai" is more similar to the way the Japanese use the slang term エッチ (H, or ecchi), which refers to any sexually explicit content or behaviour. Ecchi is simply the spelling-out of the Japanese pronunciation of the letter H. The origins of this term are uncertain, but it may be a shortened form of hentai used as a polite codeword in the 1960s.
"H" in Japan is now broadly used to refer to all sexual content or activity[1]) So, "H manga" are manga with sexual content. Recently, the term "ero" (エロ), short for "erotic" but closer in meaning to "porn", is now used more often instead of "H".
...Also, the little black letters above the big red "H" on the USB body spell out "ecchi" in the Japanese hiragana alphabet.
