While Tokyo is busy preparing for the 2020 Olympics, people are already psyched for it. A few Japanese artists have come together to create an unofficial promotion campaign for the big event, drawing inspiration from a subject they’re incredibly passionate about. Anime. They have been reimagining the participating countries as badass characters who are ready to go into combat, and the designs are very Japanese. In a totally good way. Each “competitor” is created with the culture, history and national identity of the corresponding country in mind, offering a pretty visual harmonious diversity. Which is what the Olympics is all about.
