Bayonetta Origins: A Solution to Japan's Low Birthrate?
Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya jokingly claims that the upcoming game Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon will cause an "unprecedented marriage boom" and help solve Japan's declining birth rate. Kamiya believes that the game's protagonist, Cereza, is so endearing that it will make players want to have children. Japan posted the fewest births in its recorded history in 2022, prompting Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to state that the country should focus on policies regarding children and child-rearing.
