Osaka Mayor Hashimoto ready for foray into national politics
OSAKA, Japan - Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, a TV personality-turned-politician, gives a speech during a fundraising event in the city of Osaka on June 28, 2012. Hashimoto expressed readiness to enter national politics, saying, "This is a final chance to change the nation.
