With the ongoing anti-government protest in Thailand, you would think it would be some leader of the government or opposition who would be in limelight. But no, Thailand's social media sensation of the moment is Daijiro Enami.
The young and extremely handsome Japanese reporter is in Thailand covering the ongoing political conflict.

But the 28-year old ended up on social media himself, as numbers of locals shared his photo on networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

He went to Thailand to interview anti-government protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban. He also reported on the state of elections in the Bung Kum district, where PM Yingluck Shinawatra cast her vote.
Everywhere Daijiro goes he becomes the centre of attention, not something that he particularly likes
Daijiro did his best to ignore the rising Enamimania as voters kept standing next to him for a photo. He declined a request for an interview. It didn't matter. The man was suddenly a god.

On the popular Thai online forum Pantip, many Thai netizens have expressed their admiration for Daijiro and said that he makes the ideal boyfriend and husband
"Take off your bullet proof vest, I'll use my body to protect you," wrote a Pantip.com member using the pseudonym Noo Khon Dee.
