There’s actually a semi-trope in anime focused around school life where occasionally someone will use a body suit like this to pose as the school’s anatomy model for whatever purposes (I think I’ve seen it played more often for comedy purposes than for dramatic ones). This also relates to situations where the anatomy model is actually some sort of monster… or is just spooky set dressing.

It’s not really related, but one time at the mall there was a person collecting for charity wearing a weird-shaped foam suit that I couldn’t figure out, until I realised that they were collecting for some dialysis cause, and were probably supposed to be a giant kidney.
Can we learn from people wearing bizarre medical outfits? I’m still not sure.
