6. Nomination of Tokyo Honorable Citizens

For the title of Tokyo Honorable Citizen, we have selected three candidates this year: Ms. Imai Michiko, Ms. Nakamura Meiko, and Mr. Hotta Tsutomu.

Utilizing her world-renowned mountaineering feats and her many years of experience as a doctor, Imai Michiko has devoted her efforts to researching environmental issues and raising awareness of the importance of nature.

In her long career spanning 86 years, Nakamura Meiko has been active in many fields, including as a TV star and author, becoming a familiar name to many through her appeal and numerous works.

Hotta Tsutomu has contributed to the promotion of social welfare in Japan through efforts such as generating awareness for volunteer work, with the objective of building a new “fureai” society of mutual support and cooperation.

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.
