JJK’s Nanami Kento Used By Malaysia’s Department of Statistics To Describe Kuantan
The Govt. organization had noticed that the Kuantan district was trending on Facebook because of Jujutsu Kaisen and Nanami’s final desire.
Ever since the scene of Nanami’s demise and his dream of visiting Kuantan was adapted in Jujustu Kaisen Season 2, Malaysia has been busy promoting Kuantan tourism by taking advantage of that Nanami clout in the form of airline ads and memorials created for the character.
This time, Malaysia’s Department of Statistics (DOSM Pahang) had unveiled an infographic of Kuantan district, inscribing important details such as population density, average weather, area size, etc.
According to their Facebook post description, they’ve noticed that the Kuantan district is trending on the platform because of Jujutsu Kaisen and Nanami’s final desire.
Hence, they’ve used Nanami’s pictures all over the infographic. Do take a look for yourself!
Department of Statistics Malaysia don’t want to miss the JJK bandwagon by releasing Kuantan infographic with Nanami on it

With anime becoming more mainstream, fans can certainly expect outside organizations to use references in the medium for promotion or by getting into the industry themselves.

Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna.
Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the curses… and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to exorcise a curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
