Revision version (hmm) chosen as article is slated for possible
deletion.

Alberto Fujimori, President of Peru from 1990 to 2000, died in
Lima on 11 September 2024 at the age of 86, following a series
of health issues. His state funeral took place on 14 September.

I never understood why this idiot couldn't just live his live out in
exile in Japan in peace. He just had to push it by visiting South
America again.

Perhaps because he wasn't Japanese? He was born in Lima.

I used to live there. It's not that bad. I actually regret coming back
to the USA. And Fujimori actually looks Japanese and would fit in better
there.

Don't be absurd. A native-born Japanese person who lived in foreign
countries for long periods of time is treated as compromised. Japanese
absolutely would not have accepted a Japanese ethnic native to another
country as one of their own. "Looks" are hardly adequate in their closed
society.

Fascinating AND enlightening points in this thread thus far, so thanks
to one and all.

I've often wondered about this Peru/Japan connection; anyone know the
history of it? I mean, we all know about postwar Nazi fugitives ending
up in South America, but how did Japan come to so cross-pollinate its
population with a country more than 12,000 miles east of it?
(ESPECIALLY in those days long before online dating?)

Well, at least all those Nazis on the run down there--often just one
step ahead of Simon Wiesenthal* & company--had access to top-notch
health care on that lesser American continent, thanks to the late
surgeon, Dr. Hitler Saavadra.

city!--was enjoying his final 2+ months as Vice President.

YET ANOTHER DISC JOCKEY ERROR:

That Thursday citation in my posting directly above should have had
appended to it TWO asterisks*.

Guess they've never heard the verse that leaves no doubt as to the
proper pronunciation.
