2008 United States Presidential Candidate from Japan

Toyama Koichi is a kind of anarchist in Japan.He runs for President of the United States with acrobatic logic.This is his campaign speech.

[@thedungeondelver]

Don't blame me, I voted for Koichi Toyama.

[@SJKlapecki]

As a proud citizen of the American state of Canada, he has my vote!

[@elenapopovic2527]

Omg me too! A fellow citizen of the American state of Canada who thinks this guy should lead us all!

[@pandable8657]

i'm so glad this man won the 2020 united states presidential election

[@elenapopovic2527]

Nothing but respect for MY president

[@carmelopearman5721]

This is one of the most brilliant speeches

[@KoreaWandering]

"Let me tell you a story, I was a political prisoner for two years. The instant I was released, I ran to Mcdonald's and had a big mac, fries, and a coke........... It was fantastic." How can you not love this dude?

[@IaloneAmTHEChoppedONE]

where is he now lol ?

[@leonpark2863]

even after a decade this never gets old

[@TheUltravault]

this was the single most insane, brilliant and true speech i've heard in my entire life. i wish this man great luck, health and prosperity in his satirist revolutionary endeavors.

[@fastballonly]

This man is capable of delivering a captive speech with a good argument. How many American can deny his point that US is acting as if the whole were part of America? He also has a great sense of satire. Very well put. I think he deserves credit for being open-minded and humorous.

[@GAMINAZO11]

Ok,... the guy sounds pretty crazy, but somehow, everything he says feels poetically true

[@sirmount2636]

It’s literally true.

[@rotenburk]

TOYAMA WILL MAKE JAPAN GREAT AGAIN!!

[@elenapopovic2527]

How could he say something so bold, yet so true.

[@NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

This needs millions more views.

A True Revolutionary...we need more men like him in this age.

[@KFRIGGINMONEY]

years ago when i first saw this i thought this guy was totally nuts... now i realize he was totally right all along

[@kamerondonaldson5976]

i vote for him too.. he makes a world of sense.

You rule, Koichi! My vote goes to you!

[@regularchickens]

Best comedy video of the year! A+++++ would watch again

[@Thalon77]

This man really deserves to be elected president in US, his speech is really touching (more than "I'm a real american" by Hulk Hogan), and I will surely vote him next time, even if I'm not an american citizen, but who really cares? We are all americans after watching Toyama San's speech.

[@thefreaking2674]

the most based man in america

[@FartMasterLordofFart]

This man may be insane, but he sure knows his music. Dvorak's ninth symphony, fourth movement is wonderful. Wonderful like that Big Mac and Coke he had after getting out of prison.

[@sirmakhno6801]

Toyama is fucking based.

[@drstrangeluv25]

Unironically would have been better than Obama, McCain, Romney, Clinton, Trump, or Biden.

[@raunchyemama]

This guy... .. I love him. I would vote for him!! ♥♥♥

[@flatshade]

Fantastic satire Mr. Toyama.

[@sirmount2636]

Satire?

[@josiegallows]

He has my immediate vote! I'm not kidding, I'm writing him in.

[@fastballonly]

Toyama is a brilliant man with a good sense of satire. This one should strike a chord in every free thinker's mind in the States and elsewhere. In other words, this speech is a good summary of the arrogance and conceit of American government. He should make a 2012 version and ridicule Romney and ad hoc profession of faith only at the time of election by the candidates.

[@Mordanum]

But he is right !

[@Calamaistr]

Those who think he is crazy are crazy, this man is genious with a fantastic abillity to smack people in the face with sarcasm.

[@fione3253]

神演説すぎ 面白かった

[@frazel22]

Japan desperately needs a PM like him!!!

[@nobuyukinyuu]

it should be noted that just because he's from Japan doesn't mean he necessarily agrees with their own international policies -- actually, last year he ran as an independent candidate with essentially an anarchist platform, saying the country must be destroyed...

[@Moego]

This man is a comedy goldmine.

[@martin1226]

I'm American, I'll vote for you bro.

[@ilovejapanesecomedy]

[@martonium]

I'd vote for this guy as well. Him and Ron Paul are perhaps the only politicians who have ever made any sense to me.

[@KisekiTim]

I'm writing him in the ballot for the 2012 election.

Still valid in 2020 just as it was 12 years ago

[@naziel]

I love him...soo much! the Tokyo campaign was Golden...this is beyond! I honest to god wish that this type of politician would inhabit US politics rather than the jerk-offs that presently seep in...

Seems like you got your wish in 2016

[@MrJavasan]

Toyama's brief personal history (Source: his website) He was suspended from high school for two months for political activities, in the end, in 1988, he submitted an application for withdrawal from school and left without graduating.After free travel by catching rides in other people's cars, he published his first book "My declaration of leaving school". After the book, he wrote several books intermittently, "a Noteworthy personage" "Neo Dadaism poetry"..etc.

[@d.parasol]

The same can be said for me as well. I think that both of us have said all about it that we can, and I like to believe people can be civil after any sort of argument, so no harsh feelings. I don't expect to be able to change your mind, just like I won't change my mind.

No... this guy is dead serious. Which is what makes it hilarious.

That the 4th movement of Symphony from the New World is playing in the background is reason enough to vote for him.
