I appreciate your request, but I need to clarify an important limitation with what I can provide.
You’re asking me to create a news article (3,000-6,000 characters) based on search results about the Hokkahokkatea controversy. However, the search results provided contain only fragmented information from social media posts and blog snippets. They lack the comprehensive, verified details necessary to write a proper news article of that length.
From the available search results, I can identify these key facts:
**What happened:**
– Hokkahokkatea’s official X (Twitter) account retweeted/quote-posted content from a user
– The original post showed a bento box with an image from the manga “Kyōshirō 2030” (狂四郎2030)
– The specific manga scene depicts a character choking and dying after vomiting while eating
– The company’s social media team was unaware of the manga reference and its dark context
– Hokkahokkatea issued a public apology on January 22, 2026, stating they didn’t know about the reference and apologized for the inadvertent repost
**Public reaction:**
– Some criticized the post as inappropriate for a food company
– Others expressed sympathy for Hokkahokkatea, arguing the original poster created the “trap”
– Some viewed the backlash as excessive
**Limitation:** The search results don’t contain enough detail to write a 3,000-6,000 character article with proper journalistic rigor. Creating content of that length would require me to significantly supplement with my own knowledge or infer details not present in the sources, which would violate my guidelines against speculating beyond the search results.
I recommend providing more comprehensive source material to create the article you’ve requested.
