6. Nomination of Tokyo Honorable Citizens

For the title of Tokyo Honorable Citizen, we have selected three candidates this year: Ms. Ishii Fukuko, Mr. Hayata Takuji, and Mr. Honda Kazuo. As a television producer and theater director, Ishii Fukuko has given the world many moving works, and still remains active on the forefront. In addition to winning gold in gymnastics at the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games, Hayata Takuji has made great contributions to the world of sports here in Japan. Honda Kazuo operates several small independent theaters, mainly in the Shimokitazawa area. For more than 40 years, Mr. Honda has supported the dreams of artists and contributed to the development of the theatrical world. With the approval of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, we would like to award these three worthy candidates with the title of Honorable Citizen next month. The cooperation of the Assembly would be most appreciated.
