Yuriko Inose, the wife of Tokyo Gov Naoki Inose, died Sunday of a brain tumor. She was 65.
She was diagnosed with the tumor in May and had been hospitalised since then, TV Asahi quoted a Tokyo metropolitan government spokesperson as saying.
Prior to her illness, Mrs Inose had been actively involved in Tokyo's bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics. "Thanks to my wife, I was able to carry on this campaign. I want to continue putting my heart into this campaign in her memory," Gov Inose said in a statement to media on Monday.

My sympathy to the governor. That is such a short time between diagnosis and passing away.

My 86 year old grandmother was just diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor as well. Very, very sad. Doctors give her about 3 months.

It is very sad. I have a close friend fighting the same disease. She was having head aches during several weeks and doctors turned her back home with a few aspirins and rest. Then the diagnosis was confirmed with an MRI scan.
