On October 4, police in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan arrested an American soldier stationed in Okinawa. This person is suspected of robbing and murdering a local woman at a hotel in Okinawa. On the evening of October 6, local time, some Japanese people held a protest rally in front of the US Embassy in Japan. Participants chanted slogans such as “don't kill women” and “don't want the US military,” pointing out that such violent incidents are not limited to Okinawa; they also occur from time to time in other regions of Japan where US military bases are located. At the same time, participants at the rally were dissatisfied with the Takaichi government's countermeasures and questioned who the Japanese government was actually protecting, believing that the Takaichi government was an outright deception.
