Talk:Fumio Kishida

False Makoto Koga death claim
The article introduction says "Kishida also assumed control of the LDP's Kōchikai faction in 2012 following the death of former faction boss Makoto Koga." But Koga is alive; he only retired in 2012. Koga's Japanese Wikipedia page lists no death date, quotes an interview with him from this year, and doesn't talk about him dying at all. Their most recent source is an October 2020 Mainichi Shimbun article that describes a fundraiser the previous day he could have attended but didn't:

Since Koga can't have died in 2012 and the claim isn't cited, "death" should be changed to "retirement". Prstnhl (talk) 23:28, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Remove first sentence of "Personal life" section (how he was fond of okonomiyaki) or shift it to the end of the section because it is not as important or relevant as the following sentences. WindPirate (talk) 20:52, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Visited ukraine
He has visited Ukraine today, making the statement about him being the only leader of G7 countries to not do so, outdated. 2A02:3030:813:AEB8:1:0:DC0C:CDDF (talk) 14:54, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Grammar Issue - South Korea Section
Current: On South Korea, both Kishida and President Yoon Suk-yeol have taken some steps to both mend and expand ties. Yoon said that Japan had gone from ‘aggressor to partner.’ in remarks on 1 March 2023. Kishida also held a summit with Yoon in Japan, to settle war time labor disputes among other issues, which occurred on 16 March 2023.

Correct: Both Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol have taken steps to mend and expand ties between the two countries. In remarks on 1 March 2023, Yoon said that Japan had gone from "aggressor to partner." Kishida held a summit with Yoon in Japan on 16 March 2023 to settle war time labor disputes and other issues. 2604:2D80:B988:1100:3878:D892:5D4:1A7E (talk) 12:31, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

smoke bomb
a smoke bomb was thrown at him, can someone add that to the article? IchbinJosefSARKIT (talk) 05:00, 15 April 2023 (UTC)


 * He is safe as of now and a person who threw the bomb has been arrested.--とんずらする豚 (talk) 05:20, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Removing Indonesia from Foreign relations section
Although I think User:Whatsup236 has the best intentions when adding a section dedicated to foreign relations with Indonesia, I’ve noticed the paragraph contains little substance or unnecessary details. I think we should remove the section. Bobertrobert0709 (talk) 02:07, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Please remove Category:Historical revisionism of Comfort women from this article per WP:CATDEF. This categorization is at least not supported in the article body through reference to reliable source (this is sufficient to show that the removal is warranted), and it is not how reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to in describing Kishida. 2602:FC24:13:1:E4F7:9065:0:1 (talk) 06:48, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: Seem to sourced with citation 115 and 116 which is pertaining to comfort women.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  10:11, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have already looked at those two sources and confirmed that the categorization is not supported by either source. Source 115 contains only one mention of Kishida, documenting that he made a general comment on Japan's national security policy unrelated to any historical event. Source 116 discusses Kishida calling for the removal of the comfort women statue from Germany, but the article does not contain "historical revisionism" or any related term. Per Wikipedia's policy on original research, it has to be clearly stated in the source how Kishida's call for the statue's removal is somehow related to "historical revisionism of Comfort women". 2602:FC24:13:1:E4F7:9065:0:1 (talk) 15:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
