A former Prime Minister of Japan has sparked controversy by saying that the female Foreign Minister is 'not so good looking.' During a recent address, Taro Aso, 83, made the sexist remarks about Japan's Foreign Minister, Yoko Kamikawa. Although Ms. Kamikawa is in fact the third, he got her surname wrong twice and referred to her as the country's first female foreign minister. Mr Aso, the Prime Minister of Japan from September 2008 to September 2009, also referred to Ms Kamikawa as an obasan. Middle-aged women are derogatory words. The 83-year-old former Prime Minister of Japan is a key figure in the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has ruled Japan almost continuously since its inception in 1955, and is currently the Vice President of the LDP.
