Middle-aged Men Are the New Pokémon?!

You won’t believe this: a Japanese town is obsessed with a trading card game starring real-life middle-aged men—think Pokémon, but with your uncle as the hero! Kids are collecting cards of local legends like the mayor, a retired train driver, and even the soba chef. The game’s actually brought the whole town together, making these everyday guys total celebrities. Visitors are coming from around the world just to get a pack. Who knew Kawara’s coolest icons would be its own ojisan? #Japan #TradingCards #Community #FeelGood #SmallTownMagic #Finance
