It's like choosing Sonic over some other JP character. They actually had a voting between anime characters like luffy, naruto, goku, doraemon, toriko or conan. So the point was that they take anime seriously. Frankly speaking, their priority was which anime character will represent their country. Not a famous people, or brand/logo but a fictional character.
