Anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a box of tickets in Japan. One politician hoped that some of his popularity would be destroyed, it seems, and borrowed the logo for a campaign poster.
Demon Slayer, of course, is a very successful anime and manga.
Politician Fukuoka Makoto Oniki (Makoto Oniki) copied his logo, replacing his name Kimetsu no Yaiba (滅 の 刃). Because the kanji character for 鬼 appears in both the anime title and Oniki’s last name, it was a kind of visual game.
The anime logo can be seen in the movie poster below:

However, like ANN News reports, the politician was heavily criticized online for unauthorized use of the logo and apologized.
Oniki is a member of Liberal Democratic Party and member of the national diet.
“I took seriously any inconvenience I caused the creator [of Demon Slayer], the publisher and the fans, ”said Oniki. “I’m really sorry.”
Campaign posters with the logo have been removed.
Oniki is not the first Japanese politician to have problems this month because he shot down Demon Slayer. Keisuke Mitsumoto, member of the city council in Hyogo Prefecture, also beaten Demon Slayer for a campaign poster.
The editor told the media that he was “absolutely not connected” to the campaign and Mitsumoto, who made the poster, apologized.
