Anons were curious about the "frog" on the tail of this F-35 Lightening. The F-35 belongs to the JASDF, and the "frog" is actually a local toad that inhabits the area around the airbase. The number of "stars" (shurikens) on the bandana indicates what squadron the fighter jet is out of. In this case, it is in the 3rd Air Wing.
Found the best image on X. It's a modeling kit of the F-35 Lightening.
