But why this guy appear in an old manga ? Kunimitsu was originally published on 2000, ended ini 2005. While twgok was first published on 2008. How can wakaki himself be famous at that time ?

That is a famous ***advertisement for Oronamin C***. The advertise ment is very iconic and most readers would know where it is from, similar to the Uncle Sam ads in the United Stats. In the World Only God Knows, the ad is being parodied, advertising the book instead of the drink.

In Kunimitsu no Matsuri, it is just an advertisement in the background. I am not familiar with the story of Kunimitsu no Matsuri, but I do believe it takes place in relatively recent years, so I'm assuming the ad was placed in the background to show the area is old and dead (because that ad campaign ended in the early 70s).

FYI, the man in the ad is [Kon Oomura](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E6%9D%91%E5%B4%91), a comedian and actor. While most Japanese people know the advertisement, many probably don't know exactly who the man is, since it is such an old ad.
