This essay critically examines the discourse surrounding Kiyomi Tsujimoto, the NGO “Peace Boat,” and alleged connections with the Japanese Red Army, while also addressing the role of the United Nations and the broader structure of Japanese politics and media. Through an exploration of Tsujimoto’s background and political environment, the article raises broader questions about international institutions and Japan’s political landscape.

All discerning observers will surely be astonished at the ignorance, foolishness, arbitrariness, and dubious nature of the United Nations that allows such a person to assume the position of an NGO representative.

Readers will remember that the chapter I published on May 15, 2018 titled “Are the Parents of Kiyomi Tsujimoto Korean Nationals? Investigating the Rumors of Naturalization,” has repeatedly appeared in the top 50 of Goo search rankings and has many times ranked overwhelmingly number one.
Even now it still holds the top position in search rankings.

The following is that chapter.

Earlier I found an article on the internet titled “Is Kiyomi Tsujimoto’s Husband Akira Kitagawa a Former Member of the Japanese Red Army? Are Her Parents Korean Nationals? The Truth About the Naturalization Rumors!”
October 25, 2017.
＊The sections between the marks are my own comments.＊

Hello.
The Constitutional Democratic Party has decided to appoint Kiyomi Tsujimoto, currently the chair of its Policy Research Council, as the chair of the Diet Affairs Committee, and it has become clear that she will demonstrate a confrontational stance toward the government while holding both positions.
There is no doubt that Tsujimoto will continue to exert significant influence in Japanese politics, and she is attracting considerable attention.
This time the topic is Tsujimoto’s husband.

Tsujimoto’s husband is named Akira Kitagawa, and since there were rumors that he had been a member of the Japanese Red Army, I looked into what kind of person he is.
There have also been rumors that Tsujimoto’s parents are Korean nationals or that she was naturalized, so I would like to examine the truth behind these claims.

Name: Kiyomi Tsujimoto.
Date of birth: April 28, 1960.
Birthplace: Born in Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture; raised in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture.
Education: Graduated from the affiliated high school of the Faculty of Education at Nagoya University.
Graduated from Waseda University, Faculty of Education.

Student years.
While attending Waseda University in 1983, she was inspired by the textbook controversy that had occurred the previous year and established the NGO “Peace Boat” with the aim of promoting exchanges between Japan and Asian countries.

＊When I learned this fact for the first time, I became convinced that my statement—that in any other advanced country Tsujimoto would be defined as a spy for the Korean Peninsula—was not an exaggeration.
This is because the so-called textbook controversy itself originated from fabricated reporting by the Asahi Shimbun and embodied an ideology aligned with anti-Japan totalitarian thinking based on masochistic historical views and pseudo-moralism.＊

Later, in 1992, she became the NGO representative at the United Nations Earth Summit.

＊All discerning observers will surely be astonished at the ignorance, foolishness, arbitrariness, and dubious nature of the United Nations for allowing such a person to hold such a position.＊

Career.
Worked as a department store sales clerk for two years.
Entered politics in 1996.
Invited by Social Democratic Party leader Takako Doi, she ran in the 41st House of Representatives election and was elected for the first time.
In 1998 she became Deputy Secretary-General of the party.
In September she became Chair of the Public Relations Committee.
In July 2000 she became Chair of the Socialist Party Policy Research Council.

Upon investigation it turns out that Akira Kitagawa is the president of a publishing company called “Daisan Shokan.”
He is also said to have been responsible for Europe within the Japanese Red Army.

The publishing company “Daisan Shokan,” which Kitagawa runs, is said to publish many antisocial books including those related to terrorism.

In fact, the organization “Peace Boat” established by Tsujimoto is said to function as the public-facing organization of an international support network the Japanese Red Army sought to create.

Tsujimoto, the founder of Peace Boat, is said to have deep connections with the Japanese Red Army.

Incidentally, the Japanese Red Army was a group of people who believed that “revolution can be achieved through armed force.”

Takatsuki City in Osaka’s 10th district, Tsujimoto’s electoral district, is also known as an area with many associates and supporters of the Japanese Red Army.

Are her parents Korean nationals? The truth behind the naturalization rumors.

Are Tsujimoto’s parents Korean nationals?

Because many rumors claimed that they were Korean nationals, I investigated the truth behind the naturalization rumors, and Tsujimoto herself denied in an interview that her nationality was Korean.

It is also said that her parents ran a standing-style udon shop they had started in Nagoya and that the business eventually became stable.

＊Reading this passage immediately reminded me of an incident.
When I was working as a real-estate broker, I handled the sale of a revenue-producing building worth over one hundred million yen for a Korean resident operating a pachinko business.
Because the property had certain disadvantages in location and condition, selling it was difficult and required a large advertising budget.
Eventually a compatriot of the pachinko owner appeared as the buyer who decided to purchase the property.
The buyer had been running a modest udon shop and had just managed to obtain preliminary approval from a financial institution for the necessary loan.
Although the seller had originally said he would negotiate the price, as soon as this buyer requested a price reduction the seller told me to reject the deal.
I had spent enormous time and effort to reach the point of a purchase decision, so I was stunned.
When I heard the reason, I was even more shocked.
“I cannot stand the idea of lowering the price because of a poor man like him.”
Was he not a compatriot who had worked hard to get where he was?
At that moment I realized for the first time the intense sense of discrimination that people from the Korean Peninsula hold among themselves.＊
