This article republishes a chapter originally posted on February 7, 2019, and introduces past records, reports, and extensive online research concerning Kiyomi Tsujimoto, Peace Boat, the Japanese Red Army, the Social Democratic Party and related civic groups, and disaster response.
It aims to convey to the Japanese people what kind of person Kiyomi Tsujimoto is, through information that the author says the Asahi Shimbun and NHK do not report.

February 22, 2020
And Kiyomi Tsujimoto was appointed minister in charge of volunteers, and relief supplies from all over the country were centralized under the NPO corporation “Peace Boat,” under Kiyomi Tsujimoto’s control.
There are many entries in Ameba’s Best 50 that I myself think are good.
This article republishes a chapter posted on February 7, 2019, under the title, “It became clear that the Japanese Red Army positioned the civic group Peace Boat as an affiliated organization, and therefore the present search was carried out.”
That is because it conveys to the Japanese people the truth, published on the internet as a laborious work, which makes almost everything clear about what kind of person Kiyomi Tsujimoto is, and which the Asahi and NHK do not report at all.
The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
★It is as reported in the newspapers that, when Fusako Shigenobu, the highest-ranking leader of the Japanese Red Army, was arrested, two hospital employees in Takatsuki City who were supporters were present, and they refused voluntary accompaniment by the Osaka Prefectural Police.
The hospital in question was Koai Hospital in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture.
It was a hospital specializing only in psychiatry and neurology, and it was a base for a Japanese Red Army support group.
The two employees at the scene were Mr. Mamoru Yoshida, 48, and Mr. Tadashi Matsuo, 39.
Both were secretariat staff members.
“Yoshida is the husband of Setsuko Yoshida, a Koai Hospital secretariat staff member, in whose name a forged passport possessed by Shigenobu had been issued.
The hotel at the arrest scene had been reserved in Yoshida’s name the day before the arrest.
There was also public security information that he had contacted Shigenobu herself and former United Red Army member Kunio Bando in China and Russia.
Matsuo was also an employee of Koai Hospital, but he was also connected to the People’s News, to which Shigenobu contributed writings.
He had also visited the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, where the Japanese Red Army had a base.
Furthermore.
The founder of the hospital was a former member of the Red Army Faction of the Communist League, or Bund, the predecessor of the Japanese Red Army.
It is also said that Mr. O, 53, the nominal owner of the apartment in Nishinari Ward that had served as Shigenobu’s hiding place, was connected to the hospital.
Koai Hospital in Takatsuki, which is Kiyomi Tsujimoto’s political base, is the Japanese Red Army itself.
It has become clear that among the materials seized by the Public Security Bureau of the Metropolitan Police Department and others from Fusako Shigenobu, 55, the highest-ranking leader of the Japanese Red Army, there were documents that described domestic political operations, including the incorporation of the Social Democratic Party, led by Takako Doi, with statements such as “strengthen political influence centered on the Social Democratic Party.”
In the seized resolution of the fifth congress of the People’s Revolutionary Party dated August 15, 1999, there was a statement saying, “Strengthen political influence centered on ‘Hope for the 21st Century,’ a civic group that the Japanese Red Army was trying to turn into a mass organization, and the Social Democratic Party,” and the basic policy of the People’s Revolutionary Party, founded by Shigenobu, dated August 16, 2000, included an item called “joint operations with the Social Democratic Party,” as well as statements such as “put forward assembly members as Hope for the 21st Century, and while building district bases as the Social Democratic Party, strengthen the actual power of Hope for the 21st Century.”
In relation to this, the joint investigation headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department and Osaka Prefectural Police searched the homes of people connected to the civic group “Hope for the 21st Century,” and among them were a former secretary of Social Democratic Party Representative Nobuto Hosaka, as well as Keiko Funami, 34, a Social Democratic Party ward assembly member in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo.
“Hope for the 21st Century” was founded in Japan in 1995 and was active mainly in Kanto and Kansai.
Tadashi Matsuo, 39, a former hospital employee who was arrested on suspicion of harboring a criminal for helping Shigenobu flee, was also a member of 21st Century.
Excerpt from the Yomiuri Shimbun
“In the case in which Fusako Shigenobu, 55, the highest-ranking leader of the Japanese Red Army, illegally obtained a passport in another person’s name and repeatedly entered and left the country, the joint investigation headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Department and Osaka Prefectural Police simultaneously searched a total of nineteen locations in five prefectures, including the home of a male city councilor in Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture, on the second, on suspicion of violating the Passport Act and other charges.
According to the headquarters, the search locations were mainly homes of people connected to civic groups, and more than 100 items, including personal computers, floppy disks, and organizational newspapers, were seized.
As the headquarters proceeded with analysis of Shigenobu’s belongings, it became clear that the Japanese Red Army positioned the civic group Peace Boat as an affiliated organization, and therefore the present search was carried out.”
＊There was a letter saying that the male city councilor in Kadoma City, Osaka Prefecture, was Hige Toda.
◆The Free North Korean Government confirmed that Ri Yong-ho was killed by Choe Ryong-hae’s faction.
“Bloodshed in the Process of Ri Yong-ho’s Dismissal”
Intelligence authorities: “There is also a possibility that Chief of General Staff Ri himself was wounded.”
It had become known by July 19, 2012, that the South Korean government had obtained and was closely examining information that, in the process by which North Korea’s Chief of General Staff Ri Yong-ho was dismissed, a bloody incident occurred in which about twenty North Korean soldiers died.
In this process, there is also a view that Chief of General Staff Ri himself may have been wounded or killed.
According to a South Korean government official, after Kim Jong-un, First Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, decided to dismiss Chief of General Staff Ri from all his posts, the side of Choe Ryong-hae, director of the General Political Bureau, which moved to carry out the decision, tried to physically isolate Chief of General Staff Ri, whereupon Ri’s guards resisted and a firefight broke out.
One source said, “The possibility that Chief of General Staff Ri was wounded or killed in the course of the firefight cannot be ruled out.”
Choe Ryong-hae, who was appointed director of the General Political Bureau overseeing the North Korean military in April of the previous year, is described as the “double” of Jang Song-thaek, director of the Administrative Department of the Workers’ Party and uncle of First Secretary Kim Jong-un, and he came up through the party rather than through the military.
The analysis of South Korean authorities is that after Choe Ryong-hae was appointed director of the General Political Bureau, he came into conflict with Chief of General Staff Ri Yong-ho, who came from the field army, and therefore had been constantly monitoring and investigating him.
◆Kiyomi Tsujimoto Support Group
A Collection of Kiyomi Tsujimoto’s Statements
●“People say that members of the Diet are supposed to protect the lives and property of the people, but that is not why I became one.
My role is to be a ‘nation-destroying Diet member’ whose task is how to break down the framework of the state!”
●The Peace Constitution is the only law that can restrain Japan’s military power.
If this Peace Constitution were abolished, Japan would come to do whatever lawless acts it wished.
●Yasukuni Shrine was an institution that led Japanese people to war before the war.
My grandfather was conscripted under such circumstances and later starved to death on a small island in the Pacific.
I always saw my mother suffering after losing her father, and I too suffered.
However, I understand that many people in Asia who lost relatives in Japan’s war of aggression on that battlefield suffered more than I did.
＊According to local residents of Oyodo Town, Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture, where her maternal grandfather lived, “Starved to death on an island in the Pacific?
There’s no such thing.
Kiyomi-chan’s maternal grandfather was conscripted and went to war, but he returned safely.
He also received a military pension and did work like parcel delivery.
Was it about twenty years ago that he died of illness?
Of course, he died here.”
●Yasukuni Shrine was the central institution of State Shinto, which became the spiritual pillar of militarism that led many people to their deaths.
Reflecting on that, after the war, the separation of religion and state was stipulated in Article 20 of the Constitution, and for the prime minister to visit Yasukuni Shrine, which is a religious corporation, constitutes a violation of the Constitution.
Japan accepted, through the San Francisco Peace Treaty, the judgment of the Tokyo Trial that the “Class A war criminals” were responsible for the war of aggression and were criminals against peace, and returned to the international community.
For the prime minister to go and bow his head at Yasukuni Shrine, where these “Class A war criminals” are enshrined, is, from an international perspective, an act equivalent to visiting Hitler’s grave in Germany, and becomes a message of destruction of the current international order.
That is why voices of concern have begun to arise not only from South Korea and China, but also from the United States and European countries.
＊First of all, Hitler’s grave does not exist.
Nor was the separation of religion and state stipulated with Yasukuni Shrine in mind.
Many heads of state from various countries have visited Yasukuni Shrine, and apart from North and South Korea and Communist China, those making noise are anti-Japanese groups of Chinese and Koreans in the United States and elsewhere, but she says that “voices of concern have begun to arise from the United States and European countries as well.”
●“I want to realize the reconstruction work of the north-south trans-Korean railway connecting North Korea and South Korea, and have young Japanese people, who once invaded the Korean Peninsula, participate as volunteers.”
2005
●“Terrorists cannot be forgiven!! The United Nations should create an agency to sanction terrorists.”
＊What?
The city councilor from the Tsujimoto faction, Hige Toda, will be arrested, won’t he?
Or rather, what about your own husband!!
●In 1982, the textbook issue occurred in Japan, and the Ministry of Education had “invasion” in textbooks rewritten as “advance,” and the Nanjing Massacre was also made into the “Nanjing Incident”…… Japanese history textbooks contain few original historical facts, and on top of that the government takes the lead in revising history.
How shameful.
＊The fact that the Ministry of Education, now the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, never had textbook descriptions changed from invasion to advance is something even the Asahi Shimbun, which at the time took the lead in making the “false report,” has admitted.
The claim that “invasion was changed to advance” arose because a television reporter assigned to the Ministry of Education misunderstood and reported it.
●Before the war, when there was no right to vote, warmongering politicians arbitrarily decided that Japan would walk the path of militarism.
I never want to see conservative politicians continuing to achieve their aims, or the revival of belligerent laws, again.
In order to prevent Japan from becoming militaristic again, I hope for even more voices opposing revision of the Peace Constitution.
Naturally, this includes voices of opposition from the Asian peoples who suffered damage from the war in the past.
＊To state the “facts” so as not to be deceived by Ms. Tsujimoto, Japan had already introduced ordinary elections in 1889, and the only people who lacked voting rights until the war were women.
Women’s suffrage was also recognized after the war, second in Asia, and even compared with Europe at the same time as France and Italy.
When she says there were no voting rights, what country is she talking about?
And which country’s people does she mean by Asian peoples?
●Once, on the Pacific island of Palau, I heard this from an old woman.
“Japanese soldiers said they had brought weapons to protect the island, but because soldiers with weapons came to the island, it became a target of attack, was attacked, and many civilians died.”
(From Higokoro Communication, No. 6)
＊In fact, Palau may be the most pro-Japanese country in the world.
After all, it is a country whose national flag was decided based on the Hinomaru.
And on the small Palauan island of Peleliu, 12,000 Japanese defenders, in the Greater East Asia War, facing an enemy with fourteen times the manpower, more than two hundred times the aircraft, one hundred times the tanks, and one thousand times the heavy guns, turned the battle into a war of attrition, held out for seventy-three days without any resupply at all, and were annihilated after a mortal struggle.
After the war, Admiral Nimitz devoted a considerable number of pages in his book Sea Power: A Naval History to the Battle of Peleliu, and concluded as follows.
“To overcome the extremely complex defenses of Peleliu, it was necessary to accept the highest combat casualty ratio, about forty percent, seen in any landing operation in American history.
It remains questionable even now that the U.S. military, already possessing command of the sea and air, occupied this island at the cost of more than ten thousand casualties, dead and wounded combined.”
Despite such an intense battle, not a single local resident died.
Local residents had been living on Peleliu Island until then.
Out of consideration that the residents must not be caught up in the flames of war, the Japanese military, despite the shortage of ships, evacuated all of them to the main island of Palau at night while avoiding air raids.
Therefore, on Peleliu Island, the greatest battlefield, not a single islander died.
It is said that in Palau’s national textbook, thirty-six pages out of 462 are devoted to the period of Japanese rule under the title “Under the Flag of the Hinomaru.”
It describes in detail not only the circumstances by which Japan came to govern Palau, but also the school education, industrial and economic activities, and other matters carried out by Japan.
Then, in May 1982, the “Youth Shinto Priests South Seas Islands Memorial Pilgrimage Group” founded Peleliu Shrine.
The deities enshrined are Amaterasu Omikami and more than ten thousand “heroic spirits who protected the nation” who died in battle.
Today, on the left bulletin board in front of the shrine, this purpose is written by Chief Isao Shigeo of Peleliu Island.
And on the right bulletin board, the course of the battle is summarized, and, as being included in the official U.S. war history, it ends with the following poetic sentence.
“Travelers from all nations who visit this island.
If you should pass through the land of Japan, please tell them.
Tell them of the courage of the Japanese garrison that died defending this island, and of the sincerity of their hearts in remembering their homeland……”
The author of this poem is none other than Admiral Nimitz himself.
This is the reason that the country of Palau became the world’s most pro-Japanese nation.
◆Publication of leaked “public security terrorism information”: Daisan Shokan publishes real names and facial photographs
In the problem in which information related to international terrorism, thought to be internal documents of the Metropolitan Police Department and others, leaked onto the internet, a book containing the leaked data was published.
The addresses, names, facial photographs, and other information of police officers and investigation collaborators were published as they were.
Daisan Shokan, the publisher in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, stated, “We wanted to raise the issue of the looseness of police information management.”
A Tunisian man in Tokyo whose real name and facial photograph were published said, “This is worse than the police who leaked the information.
If it is sold in bookstores, I cannot live.”
Even now, about one month after the leak came to light, the Metropolitan Police Department says it is “investigating whether these are internal documents” and has not acknowledged them as internal documents.

★Those missing persons who are considered highly likely to have been abducted by North Korea are called “specified missing persons,” and the number is more than 430 as far as is known.
More than 7,000 Japanese women have been abducted by the Unification Church, a Korean cult, but both the South Korean government and the Japanese government have left the matter alone.
Korean exchange students and others instill guilt toward Korea into young Japanese women and female university students, brainwash them, have them participate in mass weddings, and sell them to rural areas in South Korea and elsewhere.
The average lifespan of Japanese women is 78, but the average lifespan of Japanese women who were sold is said to be around 50, showing how harsh the environment is.
However, because there is also brainwashing such as “if you divorce, your sin will become heavier,” many women stop short of divorce or returning to Japan.
The current safety of the more than 7,000 women taken away to South Korea is unknown, and lawyers and civic activists who call themselves human rights advocates, Kiyomi Tsujimoto, Mizuho Fukushima, and others do not even bring it up at all.
Does that mean that those who do not bring them money have no human rights?
◆At the time of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Murayama cabinet, because of its anti-Self-Defense Forces ideology, delayed the dispatch of the Self-Defense Forces irreparably and drove many people to their deaths.
Socialist Party Diet members hurled filthy jeers at a local Diet member who, in tears, requested in the Diet that the Self-Defense Forces be dispatched.
Kiyomi Tsujimoto and others, who entered the disaster area before the Self-Defense Forces, did not distribute relief supplies or water to exhausted disaster victims, but instead distributed flyers saying, “The Self-Defense Forces are unconstitutional.
Please do not accept food from the Self-Defense Forces.”
The flyers also included recipes for Korean home cooking.
Who could support Diet member Tsujimoto, who engaged in political activity without carrying out rescue activity when lifelines had stopped and buildings had collapsed?
That Kiyomi Tsujimoto was to serve as an aide in charge of volunteers for this Great East Japan Earthquake.
It was at Edano’s strong recommendation that Tsujimoto was selected as minister in charge of volunteers.
Prime Minister Kan greeted the camera, saying, “I am going to inspect the area now,” and leisurely boarded a helicopter.
He instructed Secretary-General Okada, “Do not let anyone touch anything!”
It was to show his own presence as a leader.
And Kiyomi Tsujimoto was appointed minister in charge of volunteers, and relief supplies from all over the country were centralized under the NPO corporation “Peace Boat,” under Kiyomi Tsujimoto’s control.
It was to emphasize that the Democratic Party’s Kan cabinet exercised leadership in this great earthquake and overcame it.
Choosing Tsujimoto, of all people, as the aide in charge shows that Kan seems not to have even a sense for performance-based personnel appointments.
March 26, 2011
Terrible information came in.
This is confirmed by information from multiple sources.
First, as a premise, it has already been reported that thirty elderly people in evacuation shelters in various places froze to death, strictly speaking died of hypothermia, as a result of a shortage of fuel for stoves.
One piece of information is that trucks transporting relief supplies are being stopped individually in various places by municipal office staff who received contact from government sources.
They have not been told the reason, but each seems to have accepted that it might be due to road conditions.
However, some of the areas included are places where the roads have already been restored.
As a result, relief supplies that are not being distributed are piled up at several municipal collection points.
Now, as for Her Excellency Tsujimoto’s Peace Boat, it has begun sending volunteers sequentially from Tokyo.
Amazingly, the destinations of those volunteers overlap exactly, pinpoint by pinpoint, with the collection points in question!
Judging comprehensively from the above information, one can see that this stagnation of supplies is a self-staged performance to make Peace Boat appear as the savior on the ground.
The rank-and-file members participating in Peace Boat do not know this.
It is something that has been plotted only around Tsujimoto and Yuasa.
The Democratic Party is trying to decorate its own performance at the sacrifice of the lives of disaster victims.
Of course, it is also a measure for the local elections that were postponed, and for future left-wing movements.
Are they not rotten to the core?
◆Kiyomi Tsujimoto Secretary Salary Diversion Case
The Kiyomi Tsujimoto secretary salary diversion case was a Diet member secretary salary fraud case involving Social Democratic Party Diet members and their secretaries that came to light in 2002.
Kiyomi Tsujimoto and three others were arrested, and all were later found guilty.
