According to his website, he wishes to make Japan the "strongest, kindest, and most interesting country in the world."[3]
In 2016, his television speech became a meme on the Internet when he ran for governor of Tokyo. He continued to speak prohibited words, and as a result 10% of his speech was censored by NHK without his permission.[5]
