Return to "Nissan Legends: The History of Nissan Motor"
Yoshikazu Hanawa was born in Tokyo in 1934
He joined Nissan Motor in 1957 upon graduating from the Faculty of Economics at Tokyo University
He worked mainly in the human resources field and was appointed a director in 1985 and promoted to representative director and president in 1996
and CEO in 2000 and was named representative director and chairman in 2001
He retired and was appointed advisor and honorary chairman in 2003
he replied: "I never gave any thought to hobbies while I was working
I was always busy and had no time for such things
and I thought that hobbies were for people who had retired
So now I enjoy visiting Buddhist temples and appreciating statues of Buddha
This tenth and final installment of our series "Nissan Legends" explores the origins of today's Nissan from the perspective of top management
We get an insider's view from Yoshikazu Hanawa
the person who concluded the Alliance between Nissan and Renault
through an interview conducted by Tetsuya Kato
Kato also shares with us how he perceived Mr
Hanawa in his management position with the company
Tetsuya Kato: I've been looking forward to this opportunity a great deal because I've always been interested in knowing the executive who led the Alliance with Renault to such success
were cars so commonplace that you often saw them on the streets
Hanawa: I was a young child before the war
and I recall seeing small cars called Datsuns
We lived in Suginami Ward in Tokyo and the Koshukaido
That's where I saw these cars once in a while
we moved to Setagaya Ward and we didn't see any cars any more
with friends from the neighbourhood (Hanawa is at far right)
Kato: Did those Datsuns make you curious about cars and lead you to develop an interest in them
The war broke out when I was in the second grade of elementary school and ended when I was in the sixth grade
we were in wartime when I was an elementary school pupil
It was natural that my dream at the time was to operate a tank and fly a fighter plane
Japan was still going through a time of confusion
It was also a time of food shortages and cars were not the principal concern of most people
Hanawa was in junior high school during the chaotic times following the end of the war
which were epitomized by the devastated condition of Tokyo
Kato: You went on to study in the economics faculty at university
Was American culture starting to penetrate among Japanese youth when you were at university
it was just about the time that people were finally starting to be able to get enough food to eat
It was a little later that American culture started to be felt in Japan
I was far removed from any such trend even if it existed when I was a student
considering that I wore Japanese wooden clogs to school
Was it because you finally became interested in cars
Hanawa: The professor leading one of the seminars I was enrolled in had an acquaintance who worked in Nissan's human resources division
and the professor introduced me to that person
This was before car manufacturing became one of the key industries in Japan
I remember that immediately after I joined the company
the governor of the Bank of Japan at the time said something implying that Japan didn't need an auto industry
I actually became worried that I might lose my job even though I had only just started (laughter)
Hanawa often went hiking in the mountains while he was a university student (Hanawa is on left)
Kato: Did you think that Japan would become the power in the auto industry that we see today
Hanawa: I suspect that nobody at the time dreamed that the Japanese auto industry would flourish as much as it has
Kato: Which department were you first assigned to
Hanawa: I worked in the human resources section at headquarters
I commuted from Setagaya in Tokyo and every day I was late for work because the first train in the morning did not get me to work on time (laughter)
In the early days after joining Nissan (Hanawa is on right)
Kato: How was the atmosphere inside the company at that time
Hanawa: I found it easier to be at work than I had expected
As a student I had no idea of what a company was like
so I imagined that the workplace would be a rather severe environment where seniority was strictly observed and employees were inculcated with the corporate philosophy
the company had a liberal atmosphere and all of my superiors were very kind
this was the company that embraced such unconventional figures as Yutaka Katayama
it was a company where a dynamic person like that could work to his full capacity (laughter)
With his colleagues in the HR department at the Oppama Plant (Hanawa is seated at far left)
Kato: Did you have a driver's license back then
The reason was that when I took the entrance exam
the person from the human resources division said that they wouldn't hire anyone who didn't have a license
but I took it seriously and immediately started to practice driving with a friend's car
I was driving without a license (laughter)
The company held training sessions lasting about a month prior to our official enrolment in the company and I was assigned to the design department
My superiors there taught me how to drive on the company's grounds
I passed the test for my license on the fourth try (laughter)
Kato: Do you remember the first time you drove a car
It went so fast when all you did was press down the throttle and it would take you anywhere you wanted to go
Kato: So did you immediately buy one for yourself
At the time very few employees owned their own cars
I bought my first car around 10 years after I started to work at the company
My first new car was a Sunny if I remember correctly
while before that I drove a second-hand Datsun Bluebird 310
Hanawa (left) and Kato (right) during the interview
Kato: The Japanese auto industry grew at an extraordinary rate during that period
In normal conditions in the corporate world
an employee should receive thorough education and training
and only after that should his or her workload increase
but things were moving so rapidly that we didn't have the luxury of asking for such ideal procedures
If we wanted senior employees to teach us something
so you have to work it out for yourself." That was the general atmosphere
Considering that I thought I might be losing my job when I first joined the company
it was worthwhile and challenging to be working hard
although of course it was difficult at times
there was this sense throughout the country that we had to work hard to reconstruct the economy
Kato: Did you work in the human resources division at headquarters all those years?Hanawa: I was working in the human resources division in the start-up offices of different plants
Kato: Was it difficult to secure human resources
Hanawa: It was not that hard to find people to work in the office
but the plants faced chronic labor shortages
I worked in the human resources section at head office for four years and then in different plants for 10 years and then spent six years in the research section at headquarters
Hanawa: It was company policy at the time to assign a local to be in charge of the U.S
so we served as the liaison between the U.S
thinking that we would teach the Americans
At the time we believed that we were the top automobile industry in the world
But the Americans we met were quite capable and excellent people
Japan might have had better production technologies
but it was obvious that Americans were way ahead of us in terms of engineering and management techniques
Hanawa: Although of course there were a lot of difficulties
I may have a relatively high ability to adapt to different environments
the company wouldn't tell you how long your assignment overseas was going to last
so you wouldn't even know when you would be back in Japan
Kato: I'm surprised that you could be so matter-of-fact about such a thing.Hanawa: We were thankful for the fact that we had jobs at all
It was usual that we would not express negative feelings about our jobs
such as not liking something or finding something too much trouble
I always told myself that there was no such thing as enjoyable work and that it was not reasonable to look for enjoyment in work in the first place
I believed that it was enough if I could serve society
THE QUINTESSENTIAL IMPORTANCE OF THE PARTNER
Renault is a French automaker that has long been the leader in Europe in terms of unit sales
and concluded the Alliance with this huge corporation essentially all by himself
I therefore expected to meet an aggressive
self-confident guy with an overpowering presence and a silver tongue
I encountered a quiet gentleman who was rather reticent and humble
but who at the same time did not hesitate to say what he thought and what needed to be said
Tetsuya Kato: You spent five years in the U.S
and came back to Japan in 1985 to be the head of the Planning Division
Soon after that you were named the director in charge of the Planning Division
At the time we were working on how to deal with life after the Plaza Accord
The stronger yen was going to lead to a dramatic reduction in exports and we were looking into ways to scale down the business
We didn't believe that it would last forever
but as a company we came to the conclusion that we had to ride the wave so long as it was favorable
The atmosphere at the time was such that it would have been difficult to voice the opposing view that "caution is called for all the same."
while Hanawa was serving as Vice President
Kato: Then the bubble burst.Hanawa: I was in charge of production and sales in the U.S
at the time and I was also supervising the overseas business as a whole
So I was not too familiar with the domestic market
It was difficult to offset the erosion of the domestic market with exports owing to the strong yen
Kato: Then in 1996 you were appointed president
in which capacity you sat down at the negotiating table with Renault
I had had experience with negotiations overseas because I had lived abroad
At the time I thought that Nissan should globalize more
considering that three-quarters of our sales were generated overseas
Half of production was done locally and half of domestic production was exported
within the company there was this feeling that we were a domestic company
and a perception that there was a great distance between the domestic market and overseas markets
I was always thinking about how we could create contacts between Nissan and foreign cultures
Kato: It was around this time that the expression "the four million club" appeared
but what it meant was that it would be difficult to survive as an independent carmaker if unit sales were below that level
Kato: Which auto company did you contact first for your partner
but that was only for the large truck division
so it didn't involve negotiations for Nissan but rather for Nissan Diesel
Daimler initially thought that Nissan also made trucks and so we introduced the company to Nissan Diesel
When the media started to report that we talking to Daimler
it took both Nissan and Daimler completely by surprise
We didn't think it would be such a big deal
later we started to negotiate for Nissan with several carmakers
Kato: Was it Nissan who initiated the process
The circumstances under which talks like these take place can vary
Sometimes you have a go-between and sometimes conversations between the leaders of the two companies can lead in a certain direction
He always keeps his word and once he makes a decision
he won't go back on it no matter what is said by whom
you found him trustworthy as a potential partner for Nissan
Hanawa: I felt that way from the beginning
At first we didn't know much about Renault
but over the course of several meetings I began to think that we had similar ways of thinking
Kato: Do you mean the negotiations went relatively smoothly
Kato: Did you wheel and deal in the negotiations
negotiating strategies and tactics or machinations
Hanawa: We promised at the beginning that we would speak frankly and would keep nothing from each other
it would come to light in the end and when that happened relations would stall
Kato: Was it just the two of you when you met
Hanawa: Most of the time it was just the two of us
We had a meeting about once every two months for two years in 1998 and 1999
With the other people involved following the signing ceremony (Hanawa is fifth from left)
Kato: You concluded the Alliance and along came Carlos Ghosn
He made Nissan into the company I had pictured in my mind
I believed that Nissan needed to be more globalized
and that achieving that would require a change in our mind-set
we couldn't have an old person like me leading the company
When I was offered the position of president
I had served as president for a total of four years and I had geared up for a reform to turn the company around in the first two years
Ghosn accomplished the transformation beautifully
With Carlos Ghosn when he first started at Nissan
Kato: You mean Nissan became a company that you considered ideal
Hanawa: You can't delegate with conditions
saying you can do anything here but don't touch anything there
A person cannot execute the totality of his concept if anybody interferes with him
So I told him that I wouldn't say a word and that I would support him 100%
I told him that handling external contacts as the president was time consuming
so I would take care of that and I asked him to concentrate on tackling the internal issues
Ghosn seems to be a person with an extremely strong
so it's easy to understand what he's thinking
And he excels at grasping others' feelings and eventually gets the other person on his side
we made an opportunity for the vice presidents to meet him on their own
all of the vice presidents said that they could work very well with him
Members of the Executive Committee after the conclusion of the Alliance
Nissan went through difficult periods and emerged a renewed company
human nature dictates that we start to think we no longer need a partner
A partner is like air — even when we think its presence is less critical
I hope that we will always remember its importance and never forget to be grateful
Kato: That's a message from you to the people who work at Nissan now
it was right before the Japanese auto industry started to ride the great wave of the post-war economic boom
when unit sales doubled every year for many years in a row and many people were convinced that the good times would last indefinitely
Hanawa believed that the situation could not last for long
His cool and objective perspective did not change during the bubble economy years in the 1980s
and he was proved right when not only Nissan but also the entire Japanese economy ended up going through extremely difficult times
Hanawa lived from the very best days of the Japanese auto industry to its decline to rock bottom while he was with Nissan
his experiences must have helped him steer the Alliance with Renault to success
The areas of excellence of Renault and Nissan are subtly different and if these are well matched
it can boost the sum of 1 + 1 to 10 or even 20
Renault and Nissan must maintain their respective unique traits to produce such synergies
We have to avoid having 1 + 1 only yield 1
Not only car enthusiasts like myself but also none other than Mr
Hanawa probably would not want to see that result

He’s teamed up with famed French furniture house Roche Bobois on a collection of home furnishings inspired by traditional Japanese kimono patterns and theater costumes
including a modern reimagining of the iconic “Mah Jong” sofa

Kenzo wanted to create harmony between all of the pieces
so he applied some of the pattern that you find on the sofa on the urns
which are quite voluminous,” says Jonathan Bouchet

The Chronicles of Lord Asanaro (Red Circle
2020) is an unusual and rewarding story that lingers in the consciousness longer than more overtly dramatic works
In line with British imprint Red Circle’s innovative format
it has never previously been published in English or Japanese
as Kanji Hanawa himself has had little exposure in the world of English language publication
despite having been twice a candidate for the Akutagawa Prize
The story is set in the very early Edo Period (1603-1868) when the Tokugawa Shogunate has put an end to civil war
and the samurai class — previously “sanctioned murderers,” in the author’s words — are transitioning into accountants and bureaucrats
The title is gently ironic since Lord Asunaro achieves nothing worthy of chronicling
the result of his insatiable pursuit of “horizontal pleasures.” Indeed
his castle becomes known as the “Watermelon Residence” because of the common sight of numerous heavily pregnant women
meaning “going to be one day.” It is used as the name of an obscure type of pine tree that
admired for the strength and beauty of its wood
Lord Asunaro lives in the shadow of a dominant presence
and aficionado of literature and the martial arts
maneuvered himself into the affections of Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa
thus securing the long-term future of his domain
The old brute has little patience with the clumsy dimwit who is destined to succeed him
and even biting a chunk out of the ear of a respected Confucian scholar
No wonder the father openly doubts his paternity
Hanawa evokes a society in which townspeople send their dogs off on pilgrimages to the Ise Shrine
rich merchants distribute rice in order to avert riots
abacus competitions are recruitment sessions for domain personnel
and senior officials go in disguise to the kabuki
The unheroic Asunaro proves the perfect fit for an era in which peace reigns and members of his class have lost their raison d'être as defenders of the realm
The judgement of contemporaries was harsh — “a fool from birth and lacking all judgement.”
he bequeathed to posterity an outstanding garden and some examples of accomplished calligraphy
Condemned to a life of leisure and deprived of any possibility of doing anything useful
he became “what anyone in his situation would become.”
which were not considered such in his time
being willing to talk and drink with people of much humbler standing
He questioned the usefulness of military fortifications in a time of peace
the relevance of hidebound Confucian scholarship and
the whole superstructure of hereditary status
It would take another century and a half for him to be proved right
Hanawa dedicates the story to his own father
having lived through the global version of Japan’s Warring States period
a peaceful place where nothing much happens
The father-son relationship can only be a matter of speculation
but the author himself identifies very clearly with Asunaro
Hanawa is a scholar and translator of French literature and intersperses his narrative with references to contemporaneous events in Europe
He even makes a startling comparison between Asunaro and Meursault
the passive antihero of Albert Camus’ L’Etranger
The book is Hanawa’s second publication in Red Circle’s series of specially commissioned Japanese fiction. Backlight (2018)
featured a story ripped from recent headlines — the case of an eight-year-old boy who disappeared into a bear-infested forest in 2016
after his parents briefly abandoned him for being naughty
That is a world away from the routine of a 17th-century daimyo
Yet there are similarities in the authorial approach
offering hints and suggestions rather than narrative drive or startling revelations
the one chance of love that he loses through politics and bad luck
the way he blunders through life learning so little
We know this “unimpressive man.” We see him every day on the train
Red Circle has so far put out five mini-books of specially commissioned original Japanese fiction
All are well worth exploring and The Chronicles of Lord Asunaro is one of the most satisfying

It’s one of the biggest challenges facing convenience retailers offering thousands of products in limited space.Because suppliers often provide space-creating displays
a common problem is these tools have not historically been developed with retailers at the front of mind
This is especially true for a classic space-creation tool for the cold vault: the suction cup rack
meaning many racks simply aren’t reliable enough to hold beverages on a swinging cooler door
It’s caused many retailers to abandon the option
Yet recent innovations to suction cup technology have allowed many retailers to reclaim this cold space solution to improve their bottom line
Here are two examples of how retailers have done just that
The Problem: As the owner and operator of Birmingham
Kyle Hanawa has long-used suction cup racks as a tool for testing out the viability of new products
describing the strategy as a “secret weapon” of retailers
“If customers aren’t grabbing it from there
years of failing racks caused major frustrations for the single-store owner
“We’re having to run back and clean up a pop that fell down
The Solution: Hanawa went on the hunt for a better option—and a manufacturer willing to sell in small quantities, as Hanawa purchases his own displays. He found his solution in St. Louis Mo-based iSEE Store Innovations and their patented Displayloc suction cup racks
the ability to hold up 50lbs of product without fail
bringing smart technology to the cold vault.”
The Pay-Off: With the fear of falling racks eliminated, Hanawa was able to get creative. He further highlighted new products by placing the racks vertically, diagonally and even spelling out letters. He often uses the APEX racks to spell out “M” (for Michigan) during prime college sports season
the way you display an item is what sells it,” he said
adding that he’s seen a noticeable lift in his cold vault sales
“I’m a mom and pop shop so little things like these displays make a big difference.”
The Problem: Currently the director of marketing for Edinburg
Tony McDaniel spent much of his career at Circle K
McDaniel struggled to find a vertical suction rack
“It blocks the main area of the cooler where your best sellers are located.”
He was stuck with vertical wire racks that didn’t block product
but did require a safety hook that went over the door
It kept the racks from falling but destroyed the door gaskets in the process—a costly compromise
The Solution: Needing a wire option that worked
McDaniel worked with the iSEE team to develop a solution
He had four simple parameters: it had to be vertical
hold multiple package sizes and work without a safety hook
He was more than pleased with the solution
“The suction cups are amazing: you will pull the glass out of the door before you pull the suction cups off the glass,” he said of the iSEE Wireloc
McDaniel used the racks as a new product testing ground
By purchasing the highly-visible racks himself
McDaniel was able to use them as a profit center with beverage manufacturers
“I know I can use the Wireloc for several years without failing,” he said
“This allows me to purchase the rack and then sell the space to manufacturers if they want to promote something in the store.”

from the most obvious to the more insignificant
A precise recollection of every part of each place
This is what Kazuichi Hanawa strives to present in his manga Doing Time
primarily made up of images drawn in black pen and complemented by others in multicolour
Kazuichi Hanawa is a Japanese illustrator who was born in 1947
He began his career working for the avant-garde publication Garo
before he was arrested in December 1994 for possession of a firearm
This arrest resulted in him being sentenced to three years in a prison on the island of Hokkaido
In Doing Time, the author reflects on prison conditions for inmates
in a text built solely on his memories and a few notes taken during the course of his incarceration
The reader discovers the inside of the cells
and the collective living that takes place there
But there is also the allocation of chores in the kitchen and the planning of every action in the workshops
Kazuichi Hanawa explains all the signage and the role played by furniture and objects
The reader also discovers the precise roles played by the prison staff
the different styles of prison uniform for summer and winter
Doing Time achieved great success both in Japan and internationally
being shorlisted as part of the official selection for the 34th edition of the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2007
It was also adapted for the cinema in 2002 by Yoichi Sai
This success led the author to release the illustrated book Before Prison
in which he recounts how and why he was imprisoned in 1995
Doing Time (1998), a manga by Kazuichi Hanawa, is published by Ponent Mon

the unfortunate protagonist of Franz Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis)
but the two situations are strikingly similar
both men’s lives are defined by that nasty little question that squats at the back of all of our minds: ‘Why am I doing this?’
Kiryu is buried neck-deep in a vicious cycle of physical and psychological torture
He feels like can’t stop putting those he loves at risk and his own health on the line to protect the yakuza clan his adoptive family once stood for and
Men like Kiryu have to have somewhere to go to make something of themselves
that can’t happen without those orphans in Okinawa struggling to sleep at night
Samsa’s sick of his life as an overworked salesman
but he’s had to push on with it because his parents are in debt to his tyrannical boss
and so people and their feelings must be set aside
Despite his efforts to carry on as normal or at least find a way to minimise the harm his sudden transformation might have on those around him
to be minded by his family and a string of housekeepers
A useless ghost haunting his former bedroom
increasingly ignored as much as is possible by the outside world
once the initial morbid curiosity invoked by his situation begins to wane
both are stories that I can’t help interpreting as exploring that dreaded question I think pretty much everyone’s found themselves thinking about at - however briefly - during the most difficult moments life throws at us
What would the world - my world - look like if I wasn’t here
The messages you can draw from both The Metamorphosis and Like A Dragon Gaiden are well worth taking the time to appreciate
Kafka’s work ends with Gregor Samsa’s family - the formerly struggling people he put himself through years of self-sacrifice and toil to help - finally leaving the flat that his fate haunts and taking a trip out into the countryside
They realise that because of the changes they’ve made since the story began with Samsa’s famous metamorphosis
their lives are now brimming with “new dreams and good intentions”
The most important thing is that they’re all ok
Kiryu’s leaking tears turn into a deluge
It’s natural to worry about how the people you care about are doing and where you fit into the constantly-shifting world that surrounds you on a daily basis
The most terrifying thing about life is the idea that it’ll always keep on going
the most beautiful thing about life is that it’ll always keep on going

he finds several dozen Daidoji agents on standby
Despite having reached the rank of chairman within the Tojo Clan

THE Guam International Raceway in Yigo was packed with hundreds of Smokin’ Wheels enthusiasts on Sunday
everyone in attendance was treated to several action-packed events that included Enduro
When all the dust was settled and the challenges completed
winners were recognized for their hard work and effort
less than 10 laps separated the overall winner from the third place finisher
Taking home the championship in the long and grueling race was Ikuo Hanawa who completed a total of 78 laps
Hanawa’s 78 laps were five better than the team of Joey Crisostomo and Alexander Smith
Rounding out the top three slots in the overall division was Yuichi Takahashi
Hanawa’s victory in the Enduro also included garnering top honors in the Four-Wheel Drive Unlimited Division
His nearest competitor in the division was Keiko Hamaguchi
The team of Crisostomo and Smith took home the Buggy Unlimited Division top spot after beating out Takahashi by a mere two laps
fans lined up adjacent to the racetrack to watch competitors take on one another in both the Mud Bog Challenge and Tuff Rig Challenge
The Tuff Rig Challenge was probably the toughest it’s been in a while as competitors ran through some difficulties
including not being able to get through a tough mud pit
both challenges weren’t a disappointment as fans enjoyed the action
“The whole event is great and has been very exciting
The rig and mud bog challenge are my favorite events,” said Jose Vasquez who is just visiting friends on the island
“If I can make it back or be here around this time of the year
I will definitely make my way to Smokin’ Wheels.”

Japan’s Ikuo Hanawa wins Sunday’s Smokin’ Wheels endurance race held at the Guam International Raceway in Yigo
SUNDAY’S Smokin’ Wheels enduro race seemed a whole lot longer than three hours to Guam’s legendary Cars Plus racing team comprised of Henry Simpson and Joey Crisostomo
car trouble forced the duo into the painful DNF (Did Not Finish) category
with an unopened bottle of red Gatorade resting upon his right knee and still wearing his blue jumpsuit
a physically exhausted Henry Simpson commented on the race: “We lost our charging system
So we swapped the battery at the second half and that put us a couple laps down
It would get hot and start to lose power because the voltage was dropping for the ignition.”
and desperately searching for a solution to finish the race
flipped my helmet up so it wouldn’t draw that much juice
and that juice could go to the ignition.” While realizing a modicum of success
but it died again so I turned off the transmission fan and it went for a while longer
I turned off the radiator fan and that’s the furthest she made it
The Simpson/Crisostomo Cars Plus team struggled all day with mechanical issues
While Crisostomo flipped the buggy during his driving portion
and was now grabbing some shade and comfort in the pits
While a frustrated Simpson/Crisostomo team commiserated in the pits
with a three-lap advantage over last year’s winner Chris Rabbetts
captured the checkered flag with the total time of 3:03:45.228
Simpson/Crisostomo posted the day’s fastest time of 2:16.828 on the Guam International Raceway Yigo course
driving “El Guapo Diablo” took second place with the time 3:04:54.880
and Japan’s Testuya Mormoto placed with the time 3:04:56.752
“In the timed qualifying run Saturday afternoon
which determines the start order for Sunday
Hanawa was coming around on the flat track and he bumped up against Jeff Rios’ ‘King of the Hammers’ truck and he got high-sided and he flipped,” said Simpson
Recalling his first-hand account of the event
So I looked and saw that he was on his side
Simpson added: “He got out and he was fine and he was pissed
The back left rim was shattered and the brake caliper inside the rim was damaged and leaking.”
Unable to find a replacement caliper before race day
“they tried to find one but couldn’t find one
Hanawa’s been driving this whole time with only front brakes and one on the back right.”
with a cold Miller Lite in one hand and the checkered flag in the other
the Japanese champion uttered his one-word response in Spanish
I changed to an old stock motor and the power was half

The new report has revealed that he could have died due to suction from the a pool’s drainage system
Binh Thuan police announced a forensic report on the death of 11-year-old Hanawa Yukiji
who died at a pool at the Centara Mirage Resort Mui Ne in Phan Thiet City of Binh Thuan Province
Police are now investigating potential charges of involuntary manslaughter due to misconduct in professional practice
According to forensic results released by the National Institute of Criminal Sciences in Ho Chi Minh City in April
the pool at the resort could have forcefully sucked someone below the surface of the water if they stood near the drain
if the person had "the stature of an 11-year-old boy who is 1.4 m high and weighs 39 kg (similar to Yukiji)
The report said that if someone of such stature was sucked in by the drain at the back of the pool
they would not be able to get out on their own
This is a stark contrast to a previous report by the same institute in 2023
when the case was being handled by Phan Thiet City police
That report then said the pool’s mechanism would not be able to suck in someone of similar stature to Yukiji’s
A metal mesh in a swimming pool at Centara Mirage Resort Mui Ne in Phan Thiet in central Vietnam where Japanese boy Hanawa Yukiji was drowned in 2022
Yukiji was playing at a swimming pool in the Centara Mirage Resort Mui Ne in Phan Thiet
a person at the pool found that Yukiji had been "sucked against a metal mesh in the pool." Somebody tried to pull him out but failed
Forensic analysis of Binh Thuan authorities revealed that the boy had acute pulmonary edema and respiratory failure due to drowning
which had formed because "the back side of the victim's body was pressed on or had gotten sucked in to objects with similar shapes," according to the analysis
This would account for the mesh on the drain
Square-shaped bruises are seen on the body of 11-year-old Hanawa Yukiji after he was drowned in a swimming pool in Binh Thuan Province in 2002
The family said Yukiji's death could not have been his fault as he knew how to swim
and that the boy was 1.4 m tall while the pool was only a meter deep
Phan Thiet City police launched an investigation into involuntary manslaughter due to misconduct in professional practice or administrative rules
the case was suspended in January 2023 as the investigation period had passed and the forensic science department under the Ministry of Public Security had yet to give an explanation on how the drainage sewer worked
Investigations resumed three months later but were suspended again in July 2023 as there were "no criminal events regarding the death."
A forensic report by Ho Chi Minh City Forensic Technology Institute stated that the drainage sewer could not have sucked in someone who was 1.4 m tall and weighed 39 kg
while they were swimming or standing on the sewer
and thus would not have led to their death
Phan Thiet police stated that Yukiji's death was an accident during the use of the pool
saying the boy died as he was sucked against the metal mesh drain in the bottom of the pool
Investigations into the case began again in February 2024
before the case was handed over to the Binh Thuan provincial police department
Lawyer Dao Thi Bich Lien said on Thursday that Binh Thuan investigators would evaluate the design
construction and operation of the pool to figure out the truth
