The following findings were obtained through a search conducted with the assistance of ChatGPT.
The result of my search regarding the sole Japanese woman among the 23 members of CEDAW (the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women) is as follows.
“The 23 women who make up the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women are, except for one Japanese, all from countries so crude that nearly 50% of their women have experienced rape before reaching adulthood.
The one Japanese woman is likely either a self-hating Japanese, raised on a steady diet of the Asahi Shimbun and educated by ‘red’ professors at a ‘red’ university, or a naturalized Japanese with similar inclinations.”

It is no exaggeration to say that the facts uncovered have clearly and indisputably proven my original suspicions to be spot-on.
That 99.99% of Japanese citizens had no idea who she was is, likewise, an undeniable fact.
I find it utterly terrifying—chilling to the bone, even.
Because what we are witnessing now is the horrifying reality that, triggered by the assassination of Prime Minister Abe, a person of this nature is on the verge of successfully destroying Japan’s unparalleled system of governance—our national identity that has endured since time immemorial.
This identity includes the very structure of the Japanese family and the koseki (family registry) system—an embodiment of our enduring form and dignity as a people.
