Yahya Sinwar has become an icon of bravery and courage worldwide.I encountered Japanese accounts on social media brimming with references to his final moments, with many reflecting on their significance and impact.Japanese activist, Thoton Akemito, comments in a series of tweets about the martyrdom of al-Sinwar, saying,

Al-Sinwar fought bravely like a samurai warrior to defend Gaza, which resembles Hiroshima. According to the teachings of Bushido, the way a samurai dies in battle is considered an honor for him.

In another tweet, Akemito states,

When he runs out of ammunition, he uses a spear, and when his spear breaks, he uses a stick or a stone. If he cannot find anything to use as a weapon, he fights with his fists; this is what it means to be a warrior.
