Dragon Ball Z fans may be surprised to learn that Japan's new prime minister is a well-known face, not only for his politics but also for an unusual moment in which he dressed as Majin Buu ! Shigeru Ishiba , a former defense minister, gained notoriety in the geek community when, in a previous campaign, he decided to cosplay as the pink Dragon Ball Z for a public speech. Now, he holds the highest office 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 appointment came at a turbulent time, following the departure of Fumio Kishida , whose popularity plummeted due to a series of political scandals.
Known for his serious approach and expertise in national security, Ishiba promises a government focused on economic and political stability. However, his main goals are combating the rising inflation plaguing the country and addressing the devaluation of the yen, the Japanese currency.
Although he demonstrated a more laid-back side when dressing up as Majin Buu, Shigeru Ishiba faces the challenge of demonstrating the strength of a true leader. His popularity among anime fans could be a positive, bringing young people closer to politics.
