Talk:Shōichi Nakagawa

Succeeded his father?
This sequence does not make sense: "His father, a prominent Hokkaidō politician, Ichiro Nakagawa, committed suicide in 1983. Shōichi succeeded his father...." OK, the suicide sentence standing alone conveys an idea. But "succeeded his father" at what? Please, someone who has information about Shōichi Nakagawa's early career, fill in the missing detail.


 * I gather from some of the referenced articles this simply means that he "inherited" his father's constituency and was allowed to run there for the LDP after his father's suicide. I think Koizumi Jr. has done the same thing, though his papa is still around, and he managed to retain the seat in the recent elections.  This is common practice in the political aristocracies of Japan.  But, yes, perhaps the article could be more clear on this point.  David 218.143.30.1 (talk) 12:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I think the important question is
Was he killed by Kira??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.186.96.196 (talk) 19:34, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

"Incident" at Museum
A number of Web sites repeat a story about bad behavior at the Vatican Museum. However, there is no reporting of this in major news sources, rather the original source is a single article in Japan Times. Simply because a number of other Web sites repeat this single source is not in my mind sufficient to support it. Not the BBC, nor any major news wire has original reporting of this "incident". I will not speculate as to possible motivations at the Japan Times, but lack of any other independent original reporting suggest that the story is rumor or innuendo at best. Other news outlets use its inclusion in this very article as source (so it becomes circular: XYZ says it's true because it's in Wikipedia, Wikipedia includes it because it's in XYZ) =//= Proxy User (talk) 09:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC) --- Today is December 4, 2009, two months after Shoichi Nakagawa's death. The initial autopsy said he had some cardio-vascular problems and had consumed alcohol before his death, but no actual cause of death has been reported. I just did a two-hour google. The police said they would continue to investigate, even after the initial autopsy, but I found no results of the investigation. Does anyone have a citation for Nakagawa's final autopsy report?

Comfort Women Controversy
I have removed part of the section on the "Comfort Women" Controversy. First, it was written in bad English. Second, a detailed discussion of a Japanese-language historical primary source has no place in a biography of a postwar politician. Third, and most importantly, the contents of the source were misrepresented. It does not state that the "Japanese Army prohibited illegal and inhumane recruit comfort". Rather, the context is recruitment in the home islands (内地), as stated in the first line of the document. Since forcible recruitment of prostitutes there might give rise to bad PR, those in charge of recruitment are asked to coordinate their action with Military Police (憲兵隊). If anything, this document demonstrates the depth of the involvement of the Japanese wartime government in the recruitment of "comfort women," the very point reactionary politicians like Nakagawa wish to disprove.
