Are Japanese Breeding Visas Real?

Many young Westerners, especially Zoomers, dream of moving to Japan, inspired by figures like Pewdiepie. However, a humorous hoax about a "Breeding Visa" has circulated online for years, suggesting Japan offers a visa to help with its declining population. Originating from a 2018 April Fool's article on SoraNews24, the hoax required applicants to provide proof of inducing pregnancy and passing a "Naruto exam." Despite being obviously false, the hoax resurfaces annually, fooling many and spreading across social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and iFunny. Even in 2023 and 2024, the joke continues to gain traction with new viral posts.

This is sounding like a plot of a h-anime.

My dream is to breed with one person from every ethnicity

I’m from Japan. Don’t let these lies deceive you.

This would never actually be an accepted visa because most Japanese would never want to mix genetics with other countries. It would also be difficult for many Japanese families to even mix with pure Japanese from other regions of the country.

Always funny when zoomers think they invented something. Like not wanting kids between 20-30yrs old.

There are a ton of videos of black people talking about this visa. Like "don't fall for it, you are black kings!" Or the like

8 billion people on the planet.

This hoax has recently become a hot topic in Japan, and now the Japanese are pissed off.

When visa rejected: "I can't breed!"

Is this video narrated by Astrozist/Astrid?

[sparkydoodle]

I get that this is an April Fool’s joke, but they might actually have to implement something like that in a few years

Young people who don't use Facebook 👇

[ぺんたまる-ov]

It's a malicious lie. Video makes fun of Japanese women😢

[Zzues]

I like the marketing photos they chose, for specific reasons.

[Isaac_Grace]

I was born in 2002 and i want kids more than anything. Herd mindset is bad for you.

[SeymoreSparda]

Okay, I get your paranoia surrounding the word "breeding", well at least, the logic behind it, but what's the deal with people's ick with the word "Moist"?

Bro took me 3 months to catch up to one piece. By that point Wano was just wrapping up
