Brazilian politician Kim Kataguiri has been posting campaign ads with anime on his YouTube for the elections. On September 28th, he posted a parody of Chika from the anime Kaguya-sama: Love is War . Kataguiri himself, dressed in the anime's school uniform, appears dancing alongside a Chika cosplayer.

The lyrics are a parody of the ending theme song "Chikatto Chika Chika," performed by actress Konomi Kohara. His most recent video also parodies Bleach's opening theme "Rolling Star." In his campaign, Kim Kataguiri promises to lower taxes, promote, and fight against the PT (Workers' Party).

Therefore, Kataguiri is the grandson of Japanese immigrants.

Synopsis:

Anything goes when love is war! Two geniuses. Two brains. Two hearts. One battle. Who will confess their love first…?!
Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are two geniuses who sit atop the student council of their prestigious academy, making them the elite among the elite. But it's lonely at the top, and each has fallen for the other. There's just one big problem standing in the way of their romantic happiness – both are too proud to be the first to confess their feelings and thus become the "losers" in the love competition! And so begins their daily schemes to force the other to confess first!

Kaguya was adapted into an anime that premiered in January 2019 with 12 episodes, becoming a huge success among otaku audiences. In April 2020, a second season aired in Japan, followed by an OVA in 2021. The third season (Ultra Romantic) of the series premiered on April 9, 2022.

Furthermore, the manga entered its final arc in October 2021. The 31st issue of this year's Young Jump from Shueisha revealed on June 30th that the manga would end with 14 chapters.
