On the other hand, Tachibana declared on x on the 19th, “I will sue Chairman Okutani Kenichi for defamation against Tachibana Takashi!” Furthermore, on the 21st, he posted, “It looks like Chairman Okutani’s relative’s company has gone bankrupt!” One user quoted and reposted a post pointing out that a fireproof board manufacturing and sales company run by a relative of Mr. Okutani had gone bankrupt. However, this incident has apparently led to the spread of false rumors about Mr. Okutani. According to a bankruptcy information website, the fireproof board manufacturing and sales company in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, received a decision to commence bankruptcy proceedings in February of this year. It has been pointed out in x that Mr. Okutani’s late father served as vice president of the company. On the other hand, the website listed the reasons for the bankruptcy as follows: “The company had a large number of deliveries to government construction projects, but government construction work continued to decrease. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak has led to a series of postponements of construction projects and the cancellation of planned projects. As a result, the company’s sales have been sluggish and it has been struggling to manage its finances, leading to the current situation.” Because of this, some people are beginning to view Okutani with skepticism, linking him to the Saito administration. Tachibana’s post has received comments such as, “This is one of the reasons for the uproar over Governor Saito’s removal!” and “The 100-Article Committee was formed out of personal grudge.” In other words, it is being interpreted that “Mr. Okutani’s family company, which was contracted to carry out construction work for government agencies, has seen its work reduced under Governor Saito’s administration, and so Mr. Okutani holds a grudge against Governor Saito.” Indeed, during his first term, Saito froze plans to rebuild the prefectural office building as part of fiscal reform. ■He firmly denies the rumors spreading about x: “It’s not a family business at all.”
On the 21st, we were able to speak to Okutani himself about these “rumors” about x (below, the person in parentheses is Okutani). First of all, it is true that his relative’s company went bankrupt, but Okutani says, “I didn’t know about it until my mother told me.” The company was founded by Mr. Okutani’s grandfather and was run by his father’s younger brother, who was also his uncle. He said that his relationship with his uncle was “estranged from the start,” and added, “When I was running for the Hyogo Prefectural Assembly election (in 2015), I visited my uncle, who lives in the same ward, to say hello. But we just had a little conversation,” he said. On the other hand, Mr. Okutani’s father was LDP House of Representatives member Michiru Okutani, who passed away in July 2003 at the age of 51. Okutani recalled, “I heard that my father served as vice president of my uncle’s company for a period of time, but ever since I was old enough to understand, all I remember is him as a politician.” Originally, Michi was secretary to the late House of Representatives member Kenzaburo Hara, but when he returned to his hometown and tried to run for Hyogo Prefectural Assembly seat, he was met with fierce opposition from his family and relatives. Okutani said, “At that time, my grandfather told me, ‘If you work hard in your local area for four years, I will allow you to become a politician. “I think it was probably those four years when he served as vice president at my uncle’s company,” he speculated, emphasizing. “I didn’t even know that my uncle’s company had gone bankrupt, and I knew absolutely nothing about the business. I first found out (about the company going bankrupt) when my mother told me. So it’s not a family business at all. Although I was indebted to my uncle in some ways, our relationship was more or less estranged.”
Regarding the suspicion that “I was involved in the reconstruction of the prefectural office building,” which has surfaced in X, he said, “I don’t think I was involved. “With all due respect to my uncle, I don’t think the company is large enough to take on the task of rebuilding the prefectural office building,” he said, firmly denying the claim. He then frankly shared his thoughts about the situation in which false rumors are being spread on x. “Actually, I’m really scared right now. Although the rumors were denied at the press conference, people still said things like, “It must be true because Tachibana said so.” To be honest, I find myself wondering “what should I do” in this situation. I’m so confused that I don’t even have the energy to refute this new rumor, which seems to have been exaggerated and expanded.”

If the media doesn’t get the facts out quickly, the misdeeds of the Inamura camp will keep coming to light, right?
To stop that, wouldn’t it be better to interview the Okutani family and broadcast the results? That would be the first step towards regaining trust.

I guess that’s because they said they’re not a company large enough to take on the contract. If they were actually taking on the contract, it would come out, so this is just nitpicking.
