Anime Game Stocks Surge on Prospects of Taro Aso Becoming Prime Minister

Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Taro Aso is known as an avid comic book reader. He is also the leading candidate to become the next prime minister.

Just think…the next inspiration Japan's top leader gets might come from a cartoon character.

Anime products from Broccoli Co jumped 70%.

Share of studio Toei Animation Co, online game site operator GungHo Online Entertainment Inc also gained ground.

Should Aso become the next PM we can well imagine him in the back seat of a limosine on his way to meet President Clinton (Hillary) thinking…"Okay, what would Dragon Ball Z do if he could meet Sailor Moon?"
