HONOLULU — Picture this: You're enjoying a lively stroll down the sun-kissed sidewalks of Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, just gazing into the windows of stores you plan to spend half of your yearly paycheck on.

You're just minding your own business when you suddenly notice something extraordinary. "Did that bush just move?" you ask.

Then this happens:

The person behind this mischief goes by the name "Epic Bushman" on social media. Camouflaged as a common shrub along the walkway, he has a knack for causing heart attacks in unsuspecting passersby at Waikiki's International Market Place.

Epic Bushman's history on YouTube goes back to 2019, garnering him over 95,000 subscribers, along with a significant following on TikTok.

Obviously, I can't post all the videos here, but if you'd like to check out his most recent upload, be my guest.

And make sure you watch your step next time you're around Kalakaua Avenue.
