Japanese manga fans urge Trump to stop using characters in his online posts

Japanese manga and anime fans are calling on Donald Trump to cease using their beloved characters in his social media content. Approximately 20,000 individuals have signed a Change.org petition titled "Protect Japanese Manga." This petition specifically protests the official White House X account's use of imagery from popular series such as Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Naruto without authorization. The controversy resurfaced following depictions of the former US president as the ninja Naruto in recent online posts. Fans have expressed their displeasure through extensive social media engagement, highlighting concerns over the unauthorized appropriation of these cultural icons. The White House's use of such imagery has previously drawn criticism from the Japanese creative community.
