Japanese student goes to graduation dressed like Zelenskyy

Good for him. President Zelenskyy and his staying with his citizens as they bravely defend their home from the fascist Russians is admired all throughout the free, democratic world - and Japan is no exception.

Shame there is no picture. Surely it wouldn't have been a stretch to include one?

Not sure impersonating the man Putin most wants to have killed in the world is a good idea.

Giving a rice serving spoon to the leader of a country at war didn't seem appropriate, the student said.

You'd have got a fair few thumbs down for that on this site. Perhaps you are showing a bit too much of your own initiative, son. Better go steady on that.

Photo?

If the rumours are true, a tiny little gold one would have been quite the ticket.

The Zelenskyy lookalike graduate seems to see the world in a simple black and white, good and evil dichotomy. Years from now he’ll look back at his graduation day and realize how shallow and ignorant he was and get embarrassed.

If someone gave you 100 ,of billion of dollars,and you could not make hard decision,that would preserve the rest of your country

Not really newsworthy content…

Any gesture to raise the political consciousness of people put to sleep by the suffocating conformity of Japan's conservative society is to be welcomed. Whatever his intent, it's a harmless gesture (and dumping the obligatory dull suit is a plus).

Good for him both for his support of a people and country defending their liberty and culture and also for adding a little lightness to the proceedings.

Good on him. We need more people with open minds

What a kid! Spent 3 months growing some stubble and nailed the look.

His monochromatic myopic tendency to show support for a war by impersonating Zelenskyy whilst living in a country with a bogus pacifist constitution that's using the Ukraine conflict as an excuse to arm itself to go to war with China .

Yawn. How utterly humourless an individual you are.

I suppose he could have gone as Putin and tried to kidnap his fellow classmates.

Whether you agree with his opinion or not, he is prepared to split from the herd and show what he believes in.

I'm sure you're embarrassed about plenty of things you did in the past.

If you're not, you probably never stepped out of someone else's shadow.

He might or might not be embarrassed about this in the future. Doesn't matter. No one will care. He'll probably go far.

Give that young man a cigar!

The fact that you read the story - and commented - means that it is newsworthy enough.

Maybe. But nowhere near as much as if he had gone dressed as Vladimir Putin.

I'd say this must be satire - but then this is Japan.

that would take too much effort around here.

but it would have made a world of difference and keep us from going to other websites it check it out.

im sure that went over super well with the ladies at the after party.

great choice, guy

Well he graduated from Kyoto, so he's obviously a bright lad.

Good looking, too.

I hope he goes far.

Poor kid. The youngins are so easily misled

I'll see your The youngins are so easily misled and raise you a There's no fool like an old fool. :-)

Poor kid. The youngins are so easily misled.

Most of the world sees this for what it is. Young or old. Support for Putin is a tiny minority.

Indeed.

I can’t imagine he’ll go down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole parroting ‘proxy war’.

A photo of this student dressed like Mr. Zelensky could be very helpful.

Oh, to so young and impressionable again! Liberals, and how they love to self-virtue...smh

Oh, did anyone see a picture of this Japanese student? Was he wearing high heels, too? There is a professionally done dance video of Zelensky and 3 other men in high heels and leather chaps provocatively thrusting their pelvic areas, sticking their tongs out, etc. This Japanese guy should have that costume at the graduation party nijikai, too, for the Full Monty!

All my love and warmth to you, my friend! :3

Not sure if even cosplay, I guess he did have to grow a beard.

20 something year old Japanese does CosPlay. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Go Russia!
