For what - trying to bring REAL gossip journalism to the Japanese people?
As a whistleblower, he's right behind Snowden and Assange in terms of importance - a modern-day hero we never knew we needed.

sounds like a bonified jackass

The Japanese police sure have a lot of time on their hands….

Japan issuing international arrest warrant, cancel passport for someone who did billion fraud? Murder? Rape? Child abduction?
No, for someone who did online defamation.

Return in Japan so we can incarcerate you and make your life a living hell.
Now Japan’s Injustice System is also petty.

Passports are owned by the issuing country, not the individual. They can be revoked at any time.
Seems he won a seat, never showed up, threatened Japanese citizens and won't return. Not a good look. I just hope he isn't using a diplomatic passport.

I wouldn’t say no to a business class flight to Dubai, hotel, dining and expenses paid, just to hang around and wait for paperwork that may take months.

They rose this dudes platform for months on end, made him a low level YouTuber to a big one, paid him for 6 months of doing nothing, and are trying to arrest him because his may have said he might know who this actor probably had drinks with one time probably 15 years ago.
you’d think the media part where they were giving him tax funded pay for half a year without showing up would be more of an issue

Props to this guy, haha.
He played the government for what it is, a joke. Now, out of embarrassment, they want to put him behind bars. He's probably laughing it up in some Dubai super apartment, having a great time.
This guy is a boss.

Zero chance of that.

Has he done any crime? It sounds like he just talked about some people, even if it is threatening words, it’s just a talk. If that requires prison, entire human population should be in prison.

So Japan puts him in office, he gets paid for doing nothing (like all LDP), never shows up, proves the J-Gov is a joke, and now they get angry and are trying to confiscate his passport?
For what?
He's already living the phat life in Dubai or wherever he is. On JAPAN'S YEN...........sorry Japanese citizen's tax money. He couldn't give a rat's behind about ever returning to Japan. What's the difference? It's not like they will ever find him there anyway.
"Hey, Gas. Japan is looking for you."
"bwahahahaha"

He never showed up in the parliament or in Japan because going to prison for a YouTube video would be very stupid, but exactly what would happen to him if he comes back. Smart to stay there.

God bless him! Fight on and show the world the pettiness of the Japanese Government.

The guy loved to taunt the police and the government and felt untouchable, maybe he is, maybe it will just take time.
