According to his website, he wishes to make Japan the "strongest, kindest, and most interesting country in the world."[4]

In 2016, his television speech became a meme on the Internet when he ran for governor of Tokyo. He continued to speak banned terms (mainly reproductive words), and as a result 10% of his speech was deleted by NHK without his permission[6].
