How it startedThe story begin when Jona Lam went from Holland to Hong Kong to try out working there, but along the way met with Alan Leung who is a Hong Kong based cinematographer and became friends. Then one night when Jona Lam and Alan Leung were busy brainstorming and sketching an idea for making a brand new toy or vinyl figure, however Jona was sketching a character which is absurdly thin and the head came out looking like an underwear. The character was extreme funny and thought would be able to do tons of underwear jokes with the character. Until the next day Alan found it a great idea to go further with it and asked around what other think and so the adventure started. And then we had to find the proper name cause we searched from tons of names but really allot of things have been registrated with underwear and it was hard to find one, but we wanted to aim are target audience to be Cantonese Asian and maybe Japanese. So we went for the name Dai Fu Lou (底褲佬) which is Cantonese for Underwear Man, and also later added Pantsu Man for the Japanese audience. The very first Dai Fu Lou was not the most pretty one and the problem with that it didn't had a very own thing cause the eyes and looks too much like other cartoons out there and might get mixed up. From drawing up different designs we found the perfect eyes that would set the tone for this character. However from then we have thought about tons of ideas for a story, but it was very hard to find the best one, cause the first story was a person who wakes up one day getting an underwear for his head but need to find allot of money to get an surgery to get his normal head back. But that story would been fun but meant he would be one alone from the begin. But then we though we thinking way to difficult and need to think much closer and integrate our own life story and what we daily happening to use that for the story and was great and easy to think of a story. And so Dai Fu Lou Story would start with Dai Fu Lou who is a person working in a laundry shop and one day there was someone who wants him to go with him to Hong Kong to work for him. However in the end he held Dai Fu Lou captured in China to clean his dirty laundry. Luckly one day Dai Fu Lou got away and went to Hong Kong and found tons of people who are like him and becomes friends and start an adventure.
