The east exit near the Shinjuku Station in Tokyo has something very eye-catching: a curved LED digital billboard. It’s the first in the country, and the advertising space allows you to create 3D ads with 4K image quality. So far the star of the show has been a huge calico cat that shows up between other ads. Knowing Japan’s love of cats, it’s not surprising the feline has been a hit, but lately it’s also been sharing space with one of Japan’s most famous villains in pop culture: Dragon Ball Z‘s Frieza.
For starters, here’s a look at the cat.
Now here is Frieza, menacing and diabolical. It actually looks as if he might be able to reach down and grab you.
The Frieza ad was only used for a limited time, though, and that time is already up. It’s part of an ad campaign for the mobile game Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle, brought to us by Bandai Namco. This is the official description of the game:
“DRAGON BALL Z DOKKAN BATTLE is the one of the best DRAGON BALL mobile game experiences available.
