Blue-haired World Cup fan breaks silence after his emotional reaction goes viral

Many fans from all over the world who have been packing stadiums across North America are embracing colorful hairstyles, face painting and elaborate outfits to cheer on their national teams. For supporters of Japan, bright blue wigs turned into one of the tournament's most recognizable looks.

The Japan men's national team is known as the "Samurai Blue." Although the country's flag is red and white, the team has worn shades of blue since the 1930s, according to reports.

Today, the deep indigo color is closely associated with the team, inspiring many supporters to wear blue wigs, jerseys and face paint on game day.

He later said on social media that he'd accidentally purchased a ticket in the Brazil supporters' section.

"Bro just went through 13 different emotions in 20 seconds," one viewer commented.

Others praised the sportsmanship displayed in the stands.

"They're being good sports for the most part," another commenter added.

Some viewers even predicted the fan and his reactions would become one of the lasting memories of this year's tournament.

Blue wigs aren't the only creative way Japan supporters have shown their team spirit.
