During a press conference in Tokyo on April 1, 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi playfully performed a "Kamehameha," a signature move from the popular manga Dragon Ball. The gesture occurred at the end of the press conference as they were exchanging greetings. Macron is currently on a state visit to Japan with the aim of strengthening Franco-Japanese partnerships in areas like civil nuclear energy, technological innovation, and space exploration. The visit, however, is also impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, were received at the Akasaka Palace in Tokyo as part of the official visit.
