Hashimoto assured of victory in Osaka mayoral election

OSAKA, Japan - Former Osaka Gov. Toru Hashimoto (front L) celebrates in Osaka on Nov. 27, 2011, after projections showing he won the mayoral election in Osaka, Japan's second-largest business center, by defeating incumbent Kunio Hiramatsu. Hashimoto apparently won support for his proposal to establish an Osaka metropolitan government similar to Tokyo's. On right is Ichiro Matsui, a close aide to Hashimoto who was set to win the Osaka gubernatorial election to fill up the post vacated by Hashimoto. (Kyodo)
