Hong Kong Police Force Allegedly Plagiarizes Popular Japanese Anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"
Katsunobu Kato, the Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan met the press on Nov 17, 2020 and was asked to comment on a Facebook post by the Hong Kong Police Force which was accused of plagiarising the Japanese anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".
Kato stated that he wouldn't comment on the particular case but emphasised that Japan values the copyrights of animated works and will investigate any suspected plagiarism.
Earlier this month, the Hong Kong Police Force created an animated character to promote "fraud prevention". The character was named "Grape-jiro" and had similar appearance to the main character "Tanjiro" from the anime.
The Hong Kong police named their post as "13th form of Antifraud Breathing - Don't be greedy for cheap things", which was clearly plagiarising the expression used in the original anime.
After the claims of plagiarism were made, the Police Public Relation Branch (#PPRB) responded to Apple Daily's inquiry, claiming that the post did not plagiarise from any external source, and stated the character was created using the theme "grape".
The incident was quickly noticed by the Japanese media and TBS also reported the incident on the news. Many netizens critisized the act of plagiarism and claimed that "China lacks the idea of copyright".
[Editor's note:
"Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" is a manga created by Koyoharu GotĹŤge. The anime film "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train" is Japan's highest grossing film in 2020.
As the Hong Kong police allegedly committed plagiarism in November 2020, it was also when the film was released in Hong Kong.]
