Three university students started Urgent Action (Kinkyu Action), a public pressure campaign on the Japanese government to block a soil collecting project in southern Okinawa, where remains of the war dead from the Battle of Okinawa lay. Additionally, the campaign rallies support for Governor Denny Tamaki’s response against the mining contractor, which submitted a permit to operate in Itoman City.
The three originators of Urgent Action are Keigo Nishio, 22, a student at Yale University in the U.S.; Yuto Ishikawa, 22, and Kazu Nakamoto, 21, graduate students at Okinawa International University.
