Big man in Japan...

Akihiro Suzuki, 51, admitted at a news conference on the afternoon of June 23 that he directed the comment, "You should hurry up and get married," toward Ayaka Shiomura, 35, a Your Party member of the metropolitan assembly, when she was asking a question about public support for women during a session on June 18.

Suzuki had denied that he had jeered at Shiomura in an interview with the media on June 20. "I never jeered. I'm surprised (at the rumors that I was involved) as it came as a bolt from the blue."
