On November 15, 2,300 Santa Claus impersonators took to Tokyo's Shibuya district, braving rain, for a charity event supporting children with serious illnesses in Japan and overseas. Despite the wet conditions, the festive parade filled the streets, with participants in classic red-and-white costumes raising funds and awareness for in-need children.
Organizers noted that participation fees would go towards providing Christmas gifts for ill children in Japan and those abroad struggling to access adequate medical care. Following the event, parade-goers wrote motivational messages on cards and hung them on a Christmas tree, symbolizing hope and support for the children's challenges.
