A Pokémon card event at Tokyo’s Yasukuni Shrine was canceled after China protested its location, citing Japan’s wartime history.
A Pokémon card event planned for January 31 at Tokyo’s Yasukuni Shrine was canceled after China protested, citing the site’s association with Japan’s wartime past, including convicted war criminals.
The Pokémon Company apologized, saying the event—organized by a private player—was mistakenly listed on its website due to a lack of awareness about the shrine’s sensitivity.
Chinese state media condemned the move, warning companies that ignore historical grievances risk losing market trust.
The cancellation reflects ongoing diplomatic tensions between Japan and China, heightened by recent remarks from Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi suggesting Japan might intervene if China acts against Taiwan.
