Tokyo 2020: Japan Olympics minister Seiko Hashimoto appointed head of Games
Ms Hashimoto isn't without controversy - in 2014, Japanese media ran pictures of
her kissing figure skating champion Daisuke Takahashi, and noted she was 49 then while he was 28.
Ms Hashimoto later said she "regretted" her behaviour,
while Mr Takahashi said he didn't consider it to be sexual or power harassment.
But that didn't stop her critics from speculating that he must have been pressured to say so due to her position.
Those critics are now not pleased with her appointment,
saying it is just lip service to choose a woman following the Mori controversy.
