Incidentally, Yu Darvish is currently involved in a major controversy here for defending Yasuda Junpei, a Japanese journalist who was kidnapped in Syria and held captive for three years.  Yusuda was there trying expose the atrocities of the Assad regime, but bizarrely in Japan when journalists or even students are kidnapped abroad the nationalists (who pretty much run the government and mass media) blame them for being kidnapped and causing trouble for Japan.
