A social media post declaring, "My cat looks a little *too* much like Ibaraki Prefecture," sparked a viral trend, with users from all over Japan sharing photos of their cats in poses that uncannily resemble the country's prefectures. Amidst this, a cat perfectly capturing the shape of Hokkaido—a form many thought would be too difficult to replicate—made its appearance. Its stunning accuracy has drawn significant attention.

Inspired by the cat that looked just like Ibaraki Prefecture, Natsu Sui, a resident of Hokkaido, posted a photo of their own "Hokkaido-too-much" cat. The cat masterfully recreates the complex shape of Hokkaido, with its face representing the eastern region (Doto), its outstretched paws as the northern region (Dohoku), and its tail perfectly curled to form the southern region (Donan). The post went viral, receiving a massive response with about 45,000 likes. The comments section was flooded with expressions of amazement, such as "That's so Hokkaido!" "It's a miracle!" and "I can't believe a champion appeared to embody Hokkaido!"
