Keisuke Mitsumoto, a city council member in Hyogo Prefecture, also knocked off Demon Slayer for a campaign poster.
One politician was hoping some of its popularity would rub off, it seems, and borrowed the logo for a campaign poster.
The campaign posters featuring the logo have been removed. Oniki isn’t the first Japanese politician to get in trouble this month for knocking off Demon Slayer.
“I have earnestly come to grips with any unpleasantness I have caused the creator [of Demon Slayer], the publisher, and fans,” stated Oniki.
