Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the many fast food franchises that has not hesitated to ally itself with anime when the situation is right for it. In this case, a tweet from the restaurant chain sparked otaku hysteria when it went viral, as it included a photo of Chika Fujiwara with Colonel Sanders aboard a vehicle.
The KFC occurrence was taken with good humor by the vast majority of otaku across the globe, who celebrated the image. Those who began to criticize the publication of the fried chicken franchise, saying that they were stealing the work of a mangaka, fell silent when the author and creator of Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai himself approved the tweet with a hilarious message.
‘Dear Kentucky Fried Chicken friends, I love your coleslaw. Make it possible to order it through Uber. This is the sincere wish of all coleslaw lovers. Thanks for your support.’
KFC has been able to gain the appreciation of its consumers through advertising with memes and the most representative popular culture in the world. In addition to collaborating with some well-known anime, the franchise has participated in promotions with gacha video games, which are very prominent in Asia, and in various parts of the globe. The most recent examples are Genshin Impact and Arknights.
