TOKYO (REUTERS) - Thousands of Japanese fans of Donald Trump took to the streets of Tokyo on Wednesday, shouting support for the outgoing United States president hours before his successor Joe Biden is sworn into office.
They joined the march in central Tokyo, with participants waving American and Japanese flags and holding banners claiming Trump was "the true winner" of the Nov. 3 election.
"We wanted to show that many people in Japan are supporting President Trump," rally organiser Naota Kobayashi told Reuters. "We all chanted together so that our voice can fly over the Pacific Ocean and reach the U.S."
Tokyo has seen a series of pro-Trump demonstrations since the election, with participants waving his campaign banners and wearing his signature red caps.
Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who resigned last August, forged close ties with Trump, playing golf and engaging in frequent phone calls and meetings.
