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.
