posted on by Alex Mateo
Fans of My Hero Academia are likely familiar with the pro hero Best Jeanist, a character who wears denim jeans from his pants all the way up to his nose. What fans may not know is that "Best Jeanist" is an actual real-life award given by the Japan Jeans Council every year since 1984. Within the series' canon, Best Jeanist has won the award for eight years in a row. Fiction has become reality as the fiber hero character has recieved a real-life Best Jeanist special contribution award for the 41st annual ceremony's Council Selection Division on November 14 in Tokyo.
Best Jeanist's Hikaru Midorikawa accepted the award for his character. Midorikawa voiced a video acceptance speech, in which Best Jeanist (the hero) apologizes that he could not make it to the ceremony (he was battling a villain, of course!), thanks everyone, and introduces Midorikawa to accepts the award on his behalf.
Horikoshi shared an illustration commemorating Best Jeanist's win:
Horikoshi commented that he was surprised to hear about Best Jeanist's win. He had been thinking about how to involve readers in the story, which blurred the lines between reality and manga. He was happy with his character's win, and he is thankful to his readers as well as Midorikawa for accepting the award for Jeanist (who is again, of course, busy battling a villain!). He also drew Bakugo in the background, who not only interned with Best Jeanist, but also thinks that he is super awesome.
Congratulations to Best Jeanist, and thanks for keeping the world and fashion safe!
