Kihara Minoru trends in Japan amid US Marine murder case coverage

Original: 木原稔

Kihara Minoru, Japan's Defense Minister, is a top search trend in Japan. The interest coincides with renewed coverage of a murder allegedly committed by a US Marine in Japan, a case that falls squarely under the US-Japan Status of Forces Agreement, an issue Kihara's defense ministry has repeatedly had to address. Details of the crime, including reports that the victim was found with a phone cord around her neck and that the suspect left a hotel within an hour of checking in, are drawing wide attention.

Why now: A crime allegedly involving a US Marine has put pressure on Japan's defense establishment, which Kihara leads.
