Japanese comedian wanted Japan's prime minister to dress as Pikachu for Olympic ceremony

Coming from Japanese comedian Beat Takeshi...

“Although, Mr. Abe showed up as Super Mario, whichever way you think about it, unless he came out as Ultraman, Pikachu, or Godzilla, it was no good. There really isn’t that much of an impact. It’s no good wearing a business suit. It’s no good unless you wear an Ultraman costume. You gotta have that connected to wires.”

Seeing the prime minister of Japan dressed as Mario was quite awesome, but it's certainly true that Mario has the most 'normal' clothing out of the character suggested above. Seeing him dressed as Pikachu would have certainly been interesting!
