日本政府近期再次就美国政府在官方社交媒体中使用日本动漫和游戏素材提出交涉。多家日媒称,自今年 3 月以来,日本外务省已多次要求美方停止未经授权使用《马里奥》《宝可梦》《火影忍者》等知名 IP,认为相关做法不适合出现在政府传播内容中。

日方称已多次提出交涉

报道显示,日本外相茂木敏充今年 4 月在国会答询时表示,即便是公共机构,在未获权利人同意的情况下复制受版权保护内容,也并不妥当。他当时提到,一段带有战争宣传色彩的视频中使用了任天堂《Wii Sports》画面。

到 6 月,日本内阁府政务官小野田纪美再次表示,日方已通过外交渠道“多次”向美国传达同样立场。日本方面还要求美方考虑,若将这些知名作品用于政策宣传或战争相关内容,可能对作品形象造成损害。

争议源于多段官方帖文

引发争议的内容并非单一事件。2025 年 9 月,美国国土安全部曾发布一段混剪视频,把《宝可梦》主角小智与美国移民执法画面拼接,并配上动画主题曲。宝可梦公司随后确认,从未授权这段内容。

今年 3 月,白宫 X 账号又发布一段将《Wii Sports》与伊朗空袭画面拼接的视频,随后还发布另一段混入《光环》《游戏王》《龙珠》《壮志凌云》《钢铁侠》《勇敢的心》等素材的宣传片。其后,《游戏王》动画官方账号公开表示,相关使用未经许可;《光环》角色配音演员 Steve Downes 也提出异议。

民间请愿推动事件升级

这场风波并不只停留在官方层面。日本粉丝 Nana Suzuki 曾在 Change.org 发起“保护日本漫画”请愿,呼吁采取措施,阻止美国政府继续挪用日本动漫内容。

6 月,特朗普又在 Truth Social 转发一段 AI 生成视频,将自己塑造成《火影忍者》角色鸣人,争议再次升温。随后,这份请愿被重新发起,日本国会也再次就相关问题向政府追问。

日本对角色和作品形象的知识产权保护一向较严。对东京而言,这类内容不仅是版权问题,也关系到品牌形象是否会因与高度争议的政策宣传绑定而受损。当前争议尚停留在外交交涉层面,并未发展为诉讼,但已成为美方官方传播方式引发的又一项对外摩擦。
