According to a quick Google fraud in Japan is
obtaining property or illicit economic advantages through deceit.
Gifts I assume are property here
Presumably he had to give 35 presents too.

You don't have to promise anything in return for it to be fraud. If I start a Go Fund Me because I have cancer when I really don't have cancer, the people donating aren't promised anything in return. It's still fraud.
The cancer example is plausible, but I am not sure you would always win.
In that case you are asking for help for a specific reason. They “get to feel good about helping solve your problem”.
Your deception deprives them of their having done something good with their money - which is the tort.
In OP’s instance, he was saying that he had a birthday and you are giving him a gift.
Not the same - you can make the same argument, but it is even thinner gruel.

So like...makeup?
No, more like telling 35 different women 35 different fake birthdays so they get you some nice gifts while they're all under the impression that they're your only girlfriend. Nothing like wearing make up, you silly, woman hating, goose! Xoxo

Enforcement is the issue. Cops in the USA wouldn't care about this.
Cops in the US still care about a lot of laws which people don't even give fk about in LATAM, SA and SEA

That's what I'm wondering. Perhaps he gives a mean back and foot massage.

Best I can do is legalizing corruption and then spend billion dollars on public programs explaining how lobbying helps the people, not capitalism
The only thing that will stop them is the modern day equivalent of people walking out of rome, leaving the elites to make everything themselves.

I thought Monkeys Paw had adverse outcomes.
Even it has limits. I guess this guy found a way to beat it.

People get to feel good about getting someone a gift as well.

Depends on how bad you're down.
Pretty bad I guess. There isn't a person I was contemplating getting a gift for, it was hypothetical.

Or he's just good with the D. He might also be good at delivering other Vitamins too
