I also love how Japan, barely just barely scratches the coast of Brazil.

In the anime Darker Than Black, one of the plot points is a Heaven and Hell Gate centered around Tokyo and Brazil, with the implication that one is the antipode of the other. But they're not!

The only place where Japan overlaps Brazil is the tiny Kagoshima prefecture

Brazil also has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan
