Japan Today/Shukan Post: Illegitimate child rumors may be part of plot to unseat Koizumi
At the end of last year, a shocking rumors ran through Nagata-cho, according to the tabloids, namely that Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi might have fathered an illegitimate child. According to Shukan Post, about 10 years ago, Koizumi got to know a second-generation Korean woman who owned a Korean hostess club. They subsequently had a son who goes to junior high school now and who lives with his mother at an apartment in Tokyo. Several LDP members recall seeing Koizumi cradling the baby 10 years ago.
...Shukan Post did some digging about and located the single woman living with her son in Tokyo. They both go by Japanese names. The mother owns a restaurant. She appears to be in her mid-40s and comes home from the restaurant after midnight every night. Her son has tanned skin, short hair and sharp eyes...Could these rumors be part of some plot to hurry Koizumi's departure before his tenure ends in September 2006?
