A city in Osaka gives a surprise tax return as a gift to its hometown: a bust of Kenjiro Hokuto worth a fortune

At the end of the year, Japan has been holding a special year-end event for autonomous regions to receive gifts for tax donations to hometowns. Various strange gifts have long become a gimmick to attract residents. Recently, the gift from Kadoma City in Osaka Prefecture turned out to be a life-size bust of Kenjiro from "Fist of the North Star". Its high value caused netizens to marvel and discuss.

·As a large number of people in Japan flow into urban areas, the gap in financial power between urban and rural areas has widened. However, many people from rural areas are willing to support their hometowns. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications established the hometown tax system in 2008. It is called "taxation", but in terms of the system it is a kind of "donation", that is, the income tax and resident tax that should be paid to the place of residence are transferred to other local governments through donations.

The local government will give various gifts to taxpayers, mainly local specialties, but there are also some strange gifts, such as the iron stove given as a gift before. However, this time the gifts from Kadoma City in Osaka Prefecture may be more in line with the wishes of anime fans.

Kadoma City in Osaka Prefecture prepared a surprise gift for enthusiastic citizens who donated more than 150,000 yen in taxes. It was a life-size bust of Kenjiro from Fist of the North Star made by Kaiyodo, with a height of 700mm. Such a huge bust is actually worth a lot of money and can be regarded as a luxurious return gift.
