Kojima's also extremely political so it's a little odd that he wont mention something big about his home country.

Looks like killer is a conspiracy nut, thought that Abe belonged to some sort of "secret religious organization" that he had feelings against.



The suspected killer of Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe admitted targeting the politician and said he held a grudge against an organisation he believed Abe was connected to, police have said.

Police said it was not clear if the “particular organisation” mentioned by the suspect actually existed, adding that investigations were continuing, but several Japanese media outlets described the organisation as a religious group.

Sidenote, it's a little strange Hideo Kojima hasn't said anything, I'm guessing he didn't like him:

its very okay to plainly not give a fukk more than anything else

and its not like he has an obligation to respond in some sort of official gov capacity either

only gaming weirdos would try to manufacture something like a kojima-abe "im just asking questions" dialogue lol...

If I were famous and also not a government official, and a certain recent, highly controversial right-wing US president were assassinated, I wouldn't have shyt to say either. Wouldn't condone it, but wouldn't have shyt to say otherwise.

Something about keeping your mouth shut when you don't have anything good to say.

Edit: the Japanese ambassador to China gave a one line remark:

"We are shocked by the shooting incident of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. During his tenure in office, former Prime Minister Abe contributed to the improvement and development of China-Japan relations. We express our condolences on his passing and our condolences to his family."

List of members of Nippon Kaigi - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

The Nippon Kaigi (日本会議, "Japan Conference")[14] is Japan’s largest far-right[15][16][17][18] ultra-conservative[19][20][21] ultranationalist and reactionary non-governmental organization and lobby.[22] It was established in 1997 and has approximately 38,000 to 40,000 members as of 2020.[1][14][23][24] The group is influential in the legislative and executive branches of the Japanese government through its affiliates.[23][25] Former Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, an LDP politician, served as a special advisor to the group's parliamentary league.[14] The group's membership includes grassroots far-right activists as well as national and local politicians,[2] with most of its active members being retired men over 60 as the organization has faced difficulty attracting young people.[26]

The number of National Diet members associated with the group's parliamentary league was 252 in 2013, peaking at 289 in 2014. As of 2022 the number stands at 206, out of 710 Diet seats.

The organization describes its aims as to "change the postwar national consciousness based on the Tokyo Tribunal's view of history as a fundamental problem" and to revise Japan's current Constitution,[27] especially Article 9 which forbids the maintenance of a standing army.[28] The group also aims to promote patriotic education, support official visits to Yasukuni Shrine, and promote a nationalist interpretation of State Shinto.[29][30][31][32]

In the words of Hideaki Kase, an influential member of Nippon Kaigi, "We are dedicated to our conservative cause. We are monarchists. We are for revising the constitution. We are for the glory of the nation."[33]
