Dragon Ball Z fans may be surprised to learn that Japan's new Prime Minister is a well-known face, not only for politics, but also for an unusual moment in which he dressed up as Majin Buu ! Shigeru Ishiba , who was once defense minister, gained notoriety in the geek community when, in a previous campaign, he decided to cosplay the pink Dragon Ball Z for a public speech. Now, he holds the highest position in the Japanese government.

Ishiba was chosen as the new prime minister after an internal vote by the Liberal Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan since the end of World War II. His rise came at a troubled time, following the departure of Fumio Kishida , who saw his popularity plummet due to a series of political scandals.
With a stance known for his seriousness and experience in national security, Ishiba promises a government focused on economic and political stability. However, its main goals are combating the growing inflation that is plaguing the country and dealing with the devaluation of the yen, the Japanese currency.
Although he demonstrated a more relaxed side when dressing as Majin Buu, Shigeru Ishiba has the challenge of showing the strength of a true leader. Its popularity among anime fans could be a positive point, bringing young people closer to politics.
