Japan's Joker Vies for Governor Votes With Viral TV Spot

The Joker has long been one of Batman's deadliest and most recognizable villains, often considered more popular than the Dark Knight himself. This year, the Harlequin of Hate is arriving in the anime world thanks to the release of The Suicide Squad Isekai along with the live-action version returning in this October's Joker: Folie a Deux. In a wild new television spot that has gone viral, a candidate for Tokyo's governorship has hit the airwaves in a method worthy of the Joker.

On top of dressing like the Joker, Yusuke also slapped on green makeup to look like the Mask in their bid for Tokyo governorship. Aside from dressing like the famous comic book characters, Kawai's campaign has been one fit to bursting with controversy.

The Joker of JapanThe broadcasting network, NHK, in Japan will routinely allow any candidate for Tokyo governor to have airtime. This of course resulted in the now viral clip that sees Kawai Yusuke taking a page from the Clown Prince of Crime, laughing and spinning in a chair while making their bid for the role.
