The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan collaborated with Golgo 13, a legendary Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Takao Saito. Originally published in 1968, Golgo 13 has gained immense popularity in Japan and has a dedicated following in other parts of the world. In this collaboration, the Ministry produced a series of YouTube videos aimed at raising awareness about safety precautions for Japanese citizens traveling or living abroad. The videos use the iconic character, Duke Togo (Golgo 13), to deliver important messages on personal safety, making the content engaging and accessible. By leveraging the popularity of Golgo 13, the Ministry aimed to ensure that essential safety information reached a wider audience, helping travelers and expatriates stay informed about potential risks overseas.
