[Twitter News ~ Posted by BreakingNews] [Japan is in trouble] A former Chinese national is a member of the Komeito Diet, and it's a hot topic online

[Posted by Matsumaru Makoto, former Adachi Ward Councilman] It has been confirmed in the Official Gazette that Komeito member of the House of Representatives, Okamoto Mitsunari (Chairman of the Policy Research Council, former Vice Minister of Finance), is a naturalized citizen. "January 40, XNUMX, the application for naturalization in Japan of the person listed below is approved. Chen Mitsunari (Okamoto Mitsunari), born May XNUMX, XNUMX." Okamoto's profile does not state his naturalization history.

The naturalization history of Komeito member of the House of Representatives Mitsunari Okamoto was discovered on the “Chinese Wikipedia.” The part about his real name has now disappeared, and it seems they have responded incredibly quickly.

“Chinese Wikipedia”

[Posted by (ლ '０')ლnyan!] I looked it up using a hint from a follower. There's no mistake, so I'll copy and paste it here. Diet members are public figures who make laws. I thought it was strange that they are all naturalized citizens and the laws are full of discrimination against Japan. According to Wikipedia, "Okamoto Mitsunari was a Japanese politician and currently a member of the House of Representatives for the Komeito Party. His real name was Chin Sancheng."

[Posted by Nagomi] I learned for the first time that Komeito Diet member Mitsunari Okamoto was a naturalized citizen. His name was apparently Chin Mitsunari. It was listed in the official gazette.

[Official post from Kanagawa Prefectural Human Rights Promotion Center] I checked it out by paying at http://kanpo.org
January 24, 1992
The application for naturalization in Japan of the person listed below will be approved.
Chin Sancheng (Okamoto Sancheng) Born May 40, XNUMX

Yes, there certainly is.

[Posted by Nagomi] Thank you for paying to research this.

Everyone's comments

• Oh, I thought so. I thought your arrogant behavior of always putting your hands in your pockets was very un-Japanese. But you're being honest about your origins.
• He's from Tokyo's 29th district! His constituency, Adachi Ward, is next to Kawaguchi City on the west side, so he's a total anti-Japan politician... I wonder if the residents who voted for him know about the terrible situation in Kawaguchi City.
• I wonder how many naturalized politicians there are in the Komeito Party. There was a case in the Philippines where a Chinese spy was posing as the mayor, but it would be no problem for them to become naturalized and infiltrate the country. Politicians should make their backgrounds public.
• Anyone involved in national politics should always reveal their origins. It's outrageous that someone who is intent on deceiving the people would run for a seat in the Diet. It's also outrageous that they try to silence someone by calling it "discrimination." It's an act of deceiving the Japanese people.
• Is this problem with naturalized people? If married couples have different surnames, it will be impossible to find out by looking up the family register? If this is true, it should definitely be abolished. Why is separate surnames a problem in the first place? There are plenty of issues and problems in Japan that are more important than that.
• He supports separate surnames for married couples and hate speech restrictions, but is against visiting Yasukuni Shrine. He is clearly anti-Japanese. The LDP's big defeat is due to him continuing to hang out with people like this.
• Public officials should make their "naturalization information" public! Isn't this fraud in an election chosen by the people?
• Even if you are naturalized, it doesn't mean you are working for Japan.
• This was true~
• This will lead to a huge increase in the number of views of the Official Gazette.
• I wish people would stop using fake names. Only real names should be accepted.
• We need a total ban on street names!
• Tokyo 29th district is my constituency. I wanted to defeat this person, so I voted for the Constitutional Democratic Party because the polls showed it was a close race... I never thought the day would come when I would vote for the Constitutional Democratic Party... I really wish they'd abolish single-seat constituencies.
• I think we should make it so that first-generation naturalized people cannot become politicians.

Editor B’s opinion

Information that Komeito Party member Okamoto Mitsunari is a naturalized citizen has become a hot topic on the Internet. According to a post by former Adachi Ward Council member Matsumaru Makoto, his naturalization was confirmed in the official gazette. Furthermore, it was said that his real name was "Chen Sancheng" and that he was born in 40. This information was also said to have been listed for a time on a site equivalent to the Chinese Wikipedia, but has now been removed.

There is no mention of the fact that Mr. Okamoto has naturalized in his official profile. The fact that he is operating without disclosing this fact is one of the reasons why many Japanese people feel that his activities are opaque. Many people are skeptical of the fact that his naturalization history has not been mentioned officially, and the fact that such information is being spread suggests that the lack of transparency is a factor that causes many people to distrust him.

In Japan, there are an increasing number of cases where people who have acquired Japanese nationality through naturalization are taking on politicians or public positions. This is not a problem in itself, but if information about the naturalization process or original nationality is not made public, it is natural that ordinary citizens will be concerned. In particular, in Japanese politics, the Komeito Party has been criticized by some, and I feel that if these details are made public, distrust of the party may increase even further.

In addition, while the history of naturalization and real names have been spread online, the lack of a clear announcement from the parties involved seems to be a factor in fueling anxiety. If the information confirmed in the Official Gazette is true, I believe that clarifying and explaining these details is one way to gain the trust of the Japanese people. Fulfilling my responsibilities as a public figure and maintaining transparency is also important in order to increase my credibility as a member of parliament.

It may be important in today's diverse world for lawmakers with international backgrounds to contribute to Japanese politics, but what is even more important is their honest attitude and accountability to the people. In the case of Representative Okamoto, despite the fact that such information has been spread online, no official explanation has been given, so it is only natural that many people have doubts. Naturally, many people believe that he should fulfill his responsibilities as a member of parliament and make his naturalization history and other details public.

As the number of naturalized lawmakers increases, what we want to see is how each individual lawmaker will work for the people. In order to show that they are putting Japan first in their activities, regardless of background or nationality, it is necessary to disclose information about their origins and respond sincerely to the concerns and doubts of the people. In particular, the deep-rooted suspicions about foreign-born lawmakers stem from historical issues and security concerns, so I feel that it is important to carefully address these issues in order to build trust.

With Japan's current relationship with the international community tense, national security and domestic stability are of utmost importance. In this situation, the presence of naturalized lawmakers stands out and is a cause for concern for the public. Given the current situation in Japanese politics, where anti-espionage laws have not been established, it is understandable that there is a growing opinion that the origins and careers of naturalized lawmakers should be made public. In order to ensure Japan's security, each and every lawmaker must maintain transparency and be honest with the public.

In a situation where such information is being spread, we, the people, have a right to know accurate information about the politicians who represent the future of our country. If information about the origins of naturalized politicians, including Representative Okamoto, is left unclear, public anxiety will only increase. The first step in building trust will be to clarify the beliefs with which they are trying to contribute to Japanese politics and what is behind them.

Additionally, regarding the swift deletion of certain information, the truth must be revealed as soon as possible to dispel rumors and speculation. Attempting to conceal information will only invite distrust and result in a loss of credibility as a member of parliament. I believe that it would be in the interest of Japan as a whole if the Komeito Party and Representative Okamoto himself responded honestly to the public's questions and made public the necessary information.
