Onishi was born in Japan and has a kanji name, but he immigrated to Canada when he was 4. His name gets regularly written in katakana in the media, instead of his kanji name, which is a bit odd, but not questioned. It has the effect of marking him as foreign. Apparently some Japanese cannot accept him as a Japanese anymore and essentially stripped him of his birth name (katakana is usually only used beginning with the 2nd generation of ethnic Japanese born abroad). Innuendo includes that he was born in a city where many zainichi live, he is "anti-Japan" and "pro-Korea" in his writings. And then there are the claims by Takayama Masayuki in Shuukan Shinchoo (July 13, 2006). NOT proof, but hey, it is a witch hunt aimed at discrediting his opinions by using ad hominem attacks, implying that he cannot be trusted or must be biased because he is Korean (rather than because he works for the New York Times... go figure).

I bet there's a market for Kim Jong-il products. The novelty of it would be funny, if none of the money actually went to supporting the guy. Actually, that’s not a bad business idea.
