"트럼프가 또?"...'무단 도용'에 일본 정부도 '작심 발언' / YTN

[Anchor] Japanese anime fans around the world are furious because of U.S. President Trump. He is arbitrarily using cartoon characters to boast about his own achievements, and even the Japanese government, which had previously kept its anger to itself, has now taken a serious stance. Correspondent Lee Seung-bae reports from Tokyo. [Reporter] President Trump clenches his fists and shakes his body back and forth to the rhythm. He rides not only motorcycles but also camels, and eventually even a lion, traversing the globe. Then, out of the blue, he transforms into a ninja wearing orange and black clothes. He simply swapped the face of the protagonist from the famous Japanese anime 'Naruto'. He used the character at will to emphasize the message that "everyone loves Trump." This is not the only instance. Last March, the White House pulled the trigger. At that time, they arbitrarily spliced ​​together scenes from the popular manga 'Yu-Gi-Oh!'. Animation battle scenes were inserted into actual footage of U.S. military airstrikes on Iran, and at the end, even the protagonist's voice is heard intact. "Let's end this," "Flawless Victory"—there is more. Last September, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security used "Pokémon" without permission. They treated scenes of arresting and cracking down on immigrants as collectibles, as if the protagonist were catching Pokémon. They even included the phrase "I'm going to catch them all," drawing fierce criticism. Japanese anime fans are furious over these repeated unauthorized uses. They have begun to rally together, demanding that the works not be used for political purposes. They launched a global online petition, and so far, over 24,000 people have united to take action together. The Japanese government, which had previously suffered in silence as a key ally, has now unleashed a barrage of "resolute remarks." [Kimi Onoda / Japan’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Security (12th): We intend to respond resolutely, including through communication with the United States, to ensure that Japan’s copyrights are handled appropriately.] This is already the third time in the past year that the Trump administration has misappropriated Japanese content for political propaganda. There is a palpable sentiment within the Japanese government that this can no longer be overlooked, and we will have to wait and see what kind of video the White House uploads next.
