Lisa traveled to Japan for her work as the latest global ambassador for Shiseido, a leading cosmetics brand. During her visit, she expressed her desire to meet Punch-kun, who had become well-known on social media for his adorable attachment to a large orangutan stuffed toy. This visit marked a special moment for fans who follow both Lisa and the cute monkey online.

Fans reacted enthusiastically to the heartwarming images of Lisa with Punch-kun, showcasing her holding an orange monkey plush toy while interacting with the little macaque. The series of Instagram Stories drew widespread attention and highlighted Lisa's charming and playful side, resonating with her massive global fanbase.

Looking ahead, the increased interest in Punch-kun, partly fueled by Lisa's visit, may continue to boost the number of visitors to Ichikawa City Zoo. The zoo has already seen a rise in attendance since February 2026, thanks to the monkey's growing online fame, reported Khaosod.

Shisheido will be a better paying institute for Lisa than ambassador of Thailand tourism.. Should she not be corrected as she did not mention Thailand on this trip as the Misses of the Universe election were told that they did not write enough to promote Thailand on their socials???
