Meanwhile, another picture that went viral from the US protests featured Pikachu walking next to a group of female protestors. This captured the youth holding handmade posters against Trump's governance, which read "Make America Poor Again" and "There will be hell Toupee".

Earlier, Pikachu was spotted at another demonstration. Visuals showing someone dressed in this character costume went viral from the protest that broke out in Turkey's Antalya as people raised their voices against Recep Tayyip Erdogan government's move to arrest two-time mayor Ekrem Im­a­moglu.

Hands Off! rallies

Why is Pikachu being the face of protests? Well, there's no clear answer.

Hands Off! rallies were witnessed across the US on Saturday, with protestors marching more than 1,200 locations in all 50 states. It involved more than 150 groups, including veterans, civil rights organizations, LBGTQ+ supporters and more. The demonstration came as citizens' response to the federal layoffs and rising trade tariffs among other reasons.
