Not your average candidate
If you’re concerned that your life lacks a bit of Jesus, then fear not – perhaps He’ll be a candidate in your constituency come the next election.
Mr Mitsuo Matayoshi, or as He is also known (mainly to himself) ‘The only God Mitsuo Matayoshi Jesus Christ’ (唯一神又吉光雄・イエス・キリスト), is the leader of the World Economic Community Party (世界経済共同体党), and it’s His aim to take over Japan, and then the United Nations, and then there will be the Final Judgment according to Him.
You can see His stylish oratorical delivery in one of his party political broadcasts, and Chris Gunson captured one of His election posters in 2004, which urges then-PM Koizumi and anyone who doesn’t Vote Matayoshi to simply kill themselves.
As many of the biographical blurbs about Mr Matayoshi around the internet repeat (rather archly), He has “presented himself in many elections but he has not won yet”.
Thanks for posting this, lifted my day.
Didn’t somebody recently post the Mr Sparkle commercial in which Homer said to the girls underwater (for whatever reason they happened to be hanging around underwater) “Join me or die–can you do less?” From the picture he looks like he MIGHT be God so maybe I would vote for him–although seems that would total maybe two votes so he probably wouldn’t win. And that’s probably just as well, as you imply. Koizumi was a bit of a character but seemed more-or-less sound. Does anyone have an opinion on whether Abe will do better or worse things, or is that too political to get into? Also, I greatly shamed that I misspelt “Yashukuni” in a previous comment.

I know he’s clever with raising the dead – but do you think he can do anything my toaster?? – it went on the fritz this morning.
