>“There will be a massive sweep through Akihabara,” predicts the editor of a manga title from a big-name publisher. “This is Japan’s biggest shopping area for electronics. Tourists and athletes will shop there.”

>In stores selling adult comics, the walls are covered in posters and signs depicting naked children. “In video stores, there are love dolls of little girls visible through the shop windows from the street,” says the editor. “If tourists and athletes, especially those from Europe and the United States, see this kind of thing it won’t go over well at all.”

>The magazine says action has already begun. In May, a revised law was submitted to the Diet that would prohibit the possession of child pornography. The amendment also intends to censor specific content in manga and anime that is considered harmful to society.

Japan has succeeded in Tokyo bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games.
New problem has occurred here.
It's trying to wipe away the otaku culture from Tokyo Akihabara.
Manga, anime, game, figure, cosplay, maid cafe. Everything.
The government is going to shame the Japanese Otaku culture.
To Olympic athletes, government do not want to be looking at the Akihabara.
It is expected that legislation related to otaku culture to the next six years also increase.
Japan would lose the important thing at the same time as the holding of the Olympic Games.
