| Long before he became a whistleblower and cybersecurity activist, Edward Snowden was an anime fan who worked with his friends on a start-up company selling anime art. Last year, he became an anime character himself, when the Lupin III: Goodbye Partner TV special gave him a cameo appearance under the name of "Edward Znoden." Snowden appeared to become aware of his cameo due to a tweet regarding the anime's English-dubbed release, and tweeted: "is this real". When informed that his cameo was in a Lupin III anime, he tweeted: "It's like a lifetime achievement award. Lupin is one of my favorite series." He also quipped: "let us give thanks that anime is a thing now", referencing the fact that Thursday is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-11-29/edward-snowden-reacts-to-his-cameo-in-lupin-iii-goodbye-partner/.153806 damn even real world spies are weebs lol anime is going mainstream soon |

| He's now prepared to reenter the Matrix, he even gets to be famous like an actor. Hah, well Lupin is a pretty cool series so I wonder why they did this. My favorite will always be the Studio Ghibli version, though. |

Sounds like he was probably on the business end. Much like MAL, tbh. This is the first time his body has become part of the subterranean animism ;P |

| Life Is Short But Intense. |
| Must be pretty surreal to see yourself portrayed in an anime. |
