Japanese politician campaigns with cat and it's absolutely purrfect

This guy understands what the people want. 

His name is Satoshi Shima. He previously worked at mobile carrier Softbank, and before that, he was a member of Japanese Parliament. He’s now running to represent the Mikawa region in Aichi Prefecture in the upcoming election.

Like American campaigns, the Japanese blast their posters all over the region where they are campaigning. 

Their face, a catchy slogan - and that's about it. 

Well, not Shima. No... he's taking it a different and brilliant route. 

He put an adorable white kitty next to his face. Boom.

It's quite simple. Japan loves cats... so putting a cat on his poster likely will make people smile.

According to Shima, “If you find one of my white cat posters, you’ll be happy.”

He's got my vote. 

While Shima doesn’t appear to be hitting the campaign trail with an actual cat (dang it), his campaign van does have a cat on it.

People are both amused and baffled.

In all seriousness, it's refreshing to see politicans not take themselves so seriously. 

Politicians should take note - instead of attack ads, maybe go a different route... a softer, fluffier one.
