Shigeru Ishiba Gundam snacks
January 5th, 2009 by James
Souvenir manju packs featuring the image of agriculture minister Shigeru Ishiba have gone on sale in Akihabara:
Ishiba is very public about being an otaku, and the snack box is meant to look similar to the packaging of the plastic models Ishiba is known to love. His name has been combined with “Gundam” to create “Ishidam“:
Kibo Senshi Ishidam, a hero of Tottori
Lives in the Otaku-sei, which is a combination of two planets- Tottori and Akiba. In the year of 3914, a huge battle with Ishidam’s enemy, Prime Minister, Ohta, will begin.
