<h2> Mr. Mizoguchi, who believed and got on board</h2>
 Yuji Mizoguchi, 41, a serial entrepreneur and known for his one-minute martial art &#8220;Breaking Down,&#8221; is under fire over &#8220;SANAE TOKEN,&#8221; a crypto asset bearing the name of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi (65).
 The Sanae Token was first issued on February 25. The token&#8217;s price skyrocketed after it was featured in the YouTube program &#8220;REAL VALUE&#8221; featuring Mizoguchi, Takafumi Horie (53), and Yuta Misaki (36), the &#8220;Prince of Aojiru&#8221;. However, on March 2, Prime Minister Takaichi announced in an X message that he had never heard of the token.
 I have no knowledge of it.
 The price of the token, however, plummeted on March 2, when Prime Minister Takashi Takaichi warned on X that he had no knowledge of the token. Some suspected a &#8220;setup&#8221; in which only related parties could sell out, and eventually even the Financial Services Agency (FSA) took action.

 The issuance requires registration as a crypto asset exchanger, but as of the end of January, the registration of the company that is said to have been involved in the operation has not been confirmed.
 Mizoguchi responded to this in his X
 We have been in discussions with the Takaichi office and &#8220;Team Sanae ga Nippon Kaeru (Team Sanae will Change Japan),&#8221; a supporters&#8217; group authorized by Prime Minister Takaichi, through NEU, and have reported on both parties&#8217; social networking sites and other means that we intend to cooperate with them. However, we are deeply aware that there have been some points in which we have not done enough in terms of communication and shared understanding, in response to Prime Minister Koichi&#8217;s message.
 While regretting this, he insisted that he had been in contact with the Takaichi office. On the other hand, he said
 I do not intend to deny the message from Prime Minister Koichi&#8217;s side,&#8221; he added.
 On the other hand, he added, &#8220;I do not intend to deny that Prime Minister Koichi sent this message. What is going on here?
 A source who knows Mr. Mizoguchi told this website, &#8220;Mr. Mizoguchi is a very good friend of Sanayeto,
 Mizoguchi was approached by Sanae Token and apparently took them up on the offer. The registered address of Veanas LLC, which operates &#8220;Team Sanae will change Japan&#8221; as the official supporters&#8217; group of the prime minister and sells supporting goods, is the same as that of Takaichi&#8217;s office in Nara. Mr. Mizoguchi, who believed in them, was thrown off the ladder. I was not able to talk directly with Prime Minister Takaichi, which was the important thing.
 Mizoguchi revealed, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t speak directly with Prime Minister Takaichi.

 After the uproar, Satoshi Fujii, a professor at the Kyoto University Graduate School who proposed SanaeToken to Mizoguchi, and his supporters&#8217; association
 &#8220;I didn&#8217;t think it was a mechanism like a crypto asset,&#8221; he explained.
 Mizoguchi, too, is a Mizoguchi man. Mizoguchi also claims that he had left the design and issuance of the token system to &#8220;neu, Inc.
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The &quot;reaction&quot; of the Takaichi administration can be found at ......"></div>
<h2>It&#8217;s not a good idea to take on the state.</h2>
 Takushi Okuno, the leader of the &#8220;Burdock Party,&#8221; who is a close friend of Mr. Mizoguchi&#8217;s, wrote on his X-rated page
 Neither Mr. Fujii nor Yuji Mizoguchi had anything to do with this, and it will all come out in the light of day.
 He is defending both of them, but he cannot escape the responsibility of having played a role in the spread of the rumor.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The &#8220;Japan is Back&#8221; project, the issuing body of the Sanae tokens, announced its intention to compensate the owners of the tokens, and on March 5, announced the suspension of the issuance of the tokens and the cancellation of the project.
 Prime Minister Takaichi, whose name was &#8220;used&#8221; by the project, was not the only one to be affected by the unusual speed of the FSA&#8217;s action, which took place the day after he denied involvement in the tokens. Some in the political world have pointed out that the prime minister is &#8220;furious.
 Gyasi, a former member of the House of Councillors who was arrested after making a series of revealing videos in the past, wrote in X
 I can only say one thing: You can&#8217;t take on the government. I feel it more keenly than anyone else.
 He advised Mizoguchi, &#8220;I feel it more acutely than anyone else.
 A source who knows Mr. Mizoguchi described his character as follows.
 He is a man who is all about buzz and impressions. There are people who have been enthusiastically approached for investment even though they have not established a relationship with him to that extent. When we looked closely at the contents, we found that the business model was a scheme where if someone sold out, someone would lose money. I admit that they are passionate about their work, but there are those who are &#8220;suspicious.
 He said, &#8220;I admit that I am eager to work, but there are some people who are &#8216;suspicious.
 On the other hand, it is hard to say that Prime Minister Takaichi and his supporters&#8217; association are not responsible.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The recent turmoil has exposed the lack of communication between Prime Minister Koichi and his supporters&#8217; association. A reporter from the society section of a national newspaper said
 I guess you could call it &#8216;Takaichi business. I wonder to what extent the prime minister was aware of what the supporters&#8217; association was doing. I don&#8217;t think it is acceptable for him to say, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know.
 Harumi Arima, a political commentator, said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it is acceptable to say &#8216;I don&#8217;t know.
 Political commentator Harumi Arima, in an interview with this site, said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it is acceptable for the prime minister to say, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know,
 The prime minister&#8217;s name was used, so the government had no choice but to look into it. The Prime Minister&#8217;s office was most concerned about the use of an elaborate illustration of Prime Minister Takaichi on Sanae Token&#8217;s website, which appeared to be a photograph. If the FSA were to conduct a full-scale investigation, they would need to take credit for the &#8220;souvenir. It may have been a mistake for the token operator to do something so conspicuous,&#8221; he said.
 The token operators may have made a mistake in doing something so high-profile.
 An immediate investigation is required to get to the bottom of the situation.
