(CNN) -- The Occupy Wall Street movement spilled into main streets around the world Saturday as crowds chanted and marched in a global movement of discontent.
Protesters took to the streets in Europe, the United States and Asia following online organizers' calls for a worldwide rally.
In Japan, about 200 people marched through Tokyo carrying various signs, including "No More Nukes and "Free Tibet." The crowd included children jumping and skipping behind the adults.
Some protesters wore costumes -- including a giant panda.

In South Korea, Arthur Fragoso was among a group gathered outside a bank in Seoul.
"We are protesting mostly for economic issues worldwide," he said. "We need to come up with ideas to solve the world problems."
Fragoso said his protest is a solidarity move with the Occupy movement and not a reflection of any discontent against his government.
And in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, about two dozen people gathered near the U.S. Embassy.
Organizers started social media pages on Facebook and Twitter devoted to "October 15" — #O15 on Twitter — urging protesters to join the global call for protests.
Protests were planned in other countries, including Kenya, South Africa, France, Russia, Mexico and Venezuela.
The worldwide movement is galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement started last month as a backlash against the economy and what demonstrators say is an out-of-touch corporate, financial and political elite.
Occupy Wall Street organizers say they are inspired by the "Arab Spring" that led to the toppling of regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.
