Kanna Hashimoto's Hilarious Merlion Photo in Singapore Goes Viral: "Had to do this on my first visit!"

Japanese superstar Kanna Hashimoto, despite being 27, still boasts a youthful charm. In recent years, she's been a constant presence in films and TV dramas, and even showcased her talents as a host, maintaining her immense popularity.

Yesterday, on the 7th, she posted photos from her first trip to Singapore on X. What really got people talking was a hilarious shot of her "catching water from the Merlion's mouth," which instantly sent netizens into hysterics and became a trending topic in Japan.

Hashimoto Kanna shared that on her first visit to Singapore, she naturally headed to the famous Merlion Park for photos. But instead of a typical pretty pose in front of the iconic statue, she dramatically leaned back, striking what Japanese netizens dubbed the super bold "ebi zori pose" (a shrimp-like backbend). The image is undeniably eye-catching and full of comedic flair.

She also captioned her post: "Suddenly thought I'd share these travel photos I couldn't find the right time to post (lol). On my first trip to Singapore, I absolutely had to do this!"

Kanna Hashimoto has always been known for her unpretentious, natural, and playful side. Whether acting or in her daily life, she projects a friendly and adorable image, and her recent travel antics were no exception, bringing smiles to countless faces.

Some netizens even remarked that for Kanna Hashimoto, who played Kagura in the live-action "Gintama", this kind of photo is just child's play. XD

This mischievous photo unexpectedly sparked a trend, with more and more people in Japan and abroad striking the same pose, turning it into a fun social media craze.
