14.09.2026The Day Chubu Electric Chiefs Quit Over Hamaoka Fraud

Overnight coverage lingered on Genta Koja's victory in the Okinawa gubernatorial election, stressing a margin of about 150,000 votes over incumbent Denny Tamaki, the end of 12 years of anti-base prefectural government and the first post-reversion-born governor. Analyses attributed defeat to voter focus on livelihoods over Henoko, fatigue with 'All Okinawa,' while Tokyo and Washington welcomed a cooperative turn and Tamaki stayed away from the prefectural office.

By afternoon editors shifted to Chubu Electric, which confirmed president Hayashi and chairman Katsuno would resign at month-end over falsified Hamaoka data and withdraw restart review applications for Units 3 and 4. Reporting moved from the resignations to the investigative findings of management scolding as pressure, ignored warnings and a closed nuclear division, drawing harsh criticism from the economy minister.
