The internet desperately tried to keep up with the Kardashians last week when the famous family visited Japan. Kim, Kourtney and Khloe traveled to Tokyo and Kyoto while filming an episode of their enormously popular reality show that has been running for 14 seasons, and they brought their entire entourage with them.
Kim seemed to be inspired by Japan before the trip even began, dyeing her hair bright pink in a very anime-esque fashion. When asked about it on Twitter, Kim removed any doubt by writing, “I am obsessed with anime.” She also posted a photo of a pink-haired character from the animated show “Darling in the Franxx” on Instagram with a succinct caption: “My hair inspo.” (The photo currently has more than 970,000 likes.)
Hardcore anime fans had a mixed reaction online about Kim’s new “inspo,” arguing that she’s not a real fan. User @syanneferguson7 wrote “It’s 2018 and everybody coming out as an anime lover.” User @bella_17 defended her, saying, “If you have a problem with Kim Kardashian liking anime then block me delete me I don’t want you in my life.” Many users noted that her husband, rapper and designer Kanye West, has been particularly vocal about his anime habits in the past, so this could just be one of his interests rubbing off on her.
