In 1986, he was made Minister of Education by Prime Minister Nakasone, but he was soon fired by Nakasone after an interview with Bungei Shunju in which he made several controversial remarks about Japan's role in the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II. In the interview, he questioned the criminality of the Nanjing Massacre, claiming "It is not murder under international law to kill in war".[2] Further, he compared the Nanjing Massacre with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and implied that if Japans war time actions were wrong then so were America's.
He died of pneumonia on October 22, 2006 at the age of 89.
