Japan is a country in East Asia. It consists of an archipelago of four islands of the coast of East-Asia in the Pacific. It is neighbors with China, North Korea, and South Korea to the west.

Background

"Chinpokomon"

In the late 1990s, a Japanese toy company created a franchise dubbed Chinpokomon (a parody of the real-life franchise by Nintendo, Pokémon), where the company attempted to use various products including toys, a television show and a video game in an attempt to brainwash American children into joining their army and have revenge on The United States of America for the effects of the post-World War II occupation of Japan.

"Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics"

Japan was featured as part of Herbert Garrison's performance of "Merry Fucking Christmas" in "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics".

"A Ladder to Heaven"

In response to the boys building a ladder to Heaven, the Japanese build their own ladder to compete with and to beat the U.S. to heaven. The ladder is built exponentially fast quickly extending into space and "growing by 1000 miles every day". After a few days, they announced on the news they have reached Heaven and that they claim it as part of Japan because "they got there first". Although it was obvious that the "Heaven" they broadcasted was really a studio imitation that quickly fell apart, it was enough to convince the U.S. that Heaven exists and that they were beaten to the punch.

"Pinewood Derby"

Japanese prime minister Taro Aso is shown sitting in his office with Tokyo Tower in the background as he and several other politicians talk to Randy Marsh over the phone. Later, as Baby Fark McGee-zax arrives in South Park, a large group of Japanese people are watching the live news feed on a giant screen in Akihabara. After the alien fired his space gun and threatened to kill anyone, the crowd in Akihabara then begins to cower in fear.

"Whale Whores"

Tokyo in "Whale Whores".

The Japanese are depicted as having a vendetta against dolphins and whales, constantly killing them in zoos, aquariums, and the ocean, because they initially believe that they caused pain, psychological trauma, and misery to the people in Japan by piloting the Enola Gay, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb Little Boy on the city of Hiroshima. They came to that conclusion when the American leaders during World War II delivered the Japanese government a photograph showing the "pilots" of the Enola Gay, with a dolphin as the pilot and an Orca as the co-pilot.

Upon being arrested by the Japanese government for using aggressive methods to prevent the country's whaling attempts, Stan phoned Kyle and asked him to photo-shop a new picture with the "real" pilots of the Enola Gay being a cow and a chicken. The Japanese become outraged at the cows and chickens for "framing" the innocent whales and dolphins and then they turn their focus on slaughtering cows and chickens on farms. The Japanese depicted are frequently stereotyped, killing the cetaceans with the use of spears and kamikazes. The Emperor of Japan at that time of the episode was Akihito. The Japanese are speaking complete gibberish that sounds like Japanese and all the kanji signs are randomly arranged, with the notable lack of katakana and hiragana. They also speak English with mispronounced words, a stereotype of the Japanese.

"Ginger Cow"

In response to the religious prophecy of the red heifer being fulfilled, a Japanese news anchor commits ritualistic seppuku on air.

"Black Friday"

At the Sony HQ in Tokyo, The Sony President is interrupted during sex as two board members show him a flyer in regards to the upcoming video game wars. Later, a news reporter announced Sony's plan to release the "Brack Friday Bunduru," which includes a map of Japan.

"A Song of Ass and Fire"

The Sony President is shown in his office at Sony HQ having sex with Niles Lawson.

"Titties and Dragons"

Princess Kenny arrives at Sony HQ in order to help out after their cargo ships are being blocked by Bill Gates. Later, during a meeting at HQ, an executive informs the President and Princess Kenny that sales of the PS4 and XBox in Japan are neck and neck.

"Tweek x Craig"

An unnamed Japanese performer, in Tokyo, sings about Tweek and Craig's new relationship.
