Following the latest win by Japan at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup against Tunesia on Saturday, some Japanese football fans were seen cheering with the “Rising Sun” flag, a symbol of Japanese militarism during World War II, not only at the stadium but also in Tokyo.
The "Rising Sun" flag is a symbol of Japan's wartime aggression and colonial rule, as it was used by the Imperial Japanese Army before and during World War II when they invaded countries in Asia Pacific including China, South Korea and the Philippines.
