Public Security Intelligence Agency is Japan’s primary counterintelligence/counterterrorism organization. Based on the Subversive Activities Prevention Act, the agency conducts intelligence activities regarding those organizations which have a potential for subversive terrorist activities. The surprising change in its latest recruitment pamphlet, which is now available on its official website, is that, unlike the previous years, it features two anime-style characters for the first time.
It is not uncommon anymore to find anime-style (sometimes very moe) characters in promotional campaigns by public agencies in Japan, like the mascot characters of Ministry of Public Management, Home Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications we recently reported. But from the public image of the agency, this approach is a surprise to many. What do you think?
