In recognition of Japan's championship-winning athletes, a move by Takayuki Kawamura, mayor of Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, made Japanese netizens "disgusted". According to Tokyo Sports, 72-year-old Takayuki Kawamura actually took off his mask and took a bite of the gold medal when he commended the softball team athlete Goto Who won the gold medal for Japan on the 4th. Tokyo Sports said that Takayuki Kawamura was suspected of "damaging other people's property", "sexual harassment" and "violating epidemic prevention regulations", which can be described as "three vibrations out".
Tokyo Sports: Nagoya Mayor Takayuki Kawamura was spat on for the gold medal, and Goto reported the gold medal when "three strikes out"!
According to local media reports, Goto Yoshitomo (20), who contributed a lot to the Japanese softball team to win the Olympic gold medal, came to the municipal government office in Nagoya City, where his household registration is located, on the 4th, and reported to Takayuki Kawamura that Japan won the gold medal.
Tokyo Sports said it was supposed to be a comforting scene, but Takayuki Kawamura then "suddenly" took off his mask and took a bite of the gold medal while honoring Goto Yoshitomo. Tokyo Sports denounced Takayuki Kawamura for allegedly "damaging other people's property", "sexual harassment", and "violating epidemic prevention regulations", and sarcastically said that it could be described as "three vibrations out".

Takayuki Kawamura's move also left Japanese netizens speechless.
Some netizens criticized, "In addition to being disgusting, I can't think of any other adjectives to describe the mayor of Kawamura biting the gold medal." ↓
"'Disgusting' can easily lead to arguments with others, so lately I've tried to control myself not to use it, but I can't think of any other adjectives other than disgusting to describe Mayor Kawamura's act of biting the gold medal."
Some netizens also scolded, "Nagoya Mayor Kawamura took off his mask and smeared saliva on the gold medal, which is a 'power bullying' of Goto players, and this move must not be allowed." ↓
Some netizens were angry at Goto Xiyou and scolded: "Softball player Goto Xiyou worked hard and finally won the gold medal, and was bitten by the 'uncle' who came out of nowhere, which is unbelievable!" Don't know what to do and what not to do! Mayor Kawamura, you must be ashamed! ”。
Some netizens also noticed that the announcer used the word "sudden" to report on Takayuki Kawamura's act of biting the gold medal, which can be seen that he did not seek the consent of Goto Yoshitomo before biting the gold medal. ↓
"The announcer used the word 'sudden' in his report, which shows that Takayuki Kawamura did not seek Goto's consent before biting the gold medal. In this case, though, even if the mayor tells the athletes in advance, 'I'm going to bite the gold medal,' it's hard for the athletes to refuse. Takayuki Kawamura is bullying. Such an act should be called an 'atrocity' or an 'act of stupidity'. ”
Some netizens even said, "If there are athletes who may have to show the gold medal to the mayor of Kawamura after that, it is best to apply poison to the gold medal in advance." ↓
Takayuki Kawamura's reputation in Japan is not good. According to the Japan Broadcasting Association (nhk), Ryuyuki Kawamura was suspected of forging the signatures of citizens during a request for the dismissal of Hideaki Omura, the governor of Aichi Prefecture, in February this year, and after being exposed by the media, Kawamura Ryuyuki claimed that "I am ashamed that I failed to find out that some of them were cheating in advance" and denied that he participated in the fraud. However, there are voices in Japanese society that say, "Mayor Kawamura is one of the representatives of the event no matter how you look at it" and "should apologize to the citizens."

In China, Takayuki Kawamura can also be described as "notorious". Takayuki Kawamura openly denied the Nanjing Massacre on January 23, 2017. Takayuki Kawamura claimed that if the Japanese side really slaughtered 300,000 civilians, it would have to apologize on its knees, but there was no Nanjing Massacre at all.
In response to Takayuki Kawamura's remarks, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a regular press conference on January 24, 2017, what I want to tell him is that the Nanjing Massacre is a historical fact, and there have long been public opinions in the world. Ask the mayor to fulfill his promise. China is willing to have friendly exchanges with the Japanese side, but it will never tolerate blatant provocations that distort history and hurt the feelings of the Chinese people. No matter who it is, if it acts arbitrarily, it will inevitably pay a price.
