Czech politician from Tokyo
Okamura was born in Tokyo, his parent is Moravian and his father has Korean-Japanese roots. This eccentric politician is the founder and president of the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party, referred to as populist and right-wing. In the Chamber of Deputies, he likes to usage obstruction like the Roman politician Katon the Younger. In 59 B.C.E., Caton, desiring to thwart the improvement that Julius Caesar wanted to carry out, perorated from the platform in the legislature all day long. Eventually, an annoyed Caesar, who was then a consul, ordered Katon to be thrown into prison. Okamura was more fortunate due to the fact that the president of the Czech Parliament allowed him to ramble all day long.

He accused the government of totalitarianism
A very meaningful Czech MP first accused the government of wanting to introduce a law incompatible with the constitution, meaning a step towards totalitarianism. He then read and commented on his dissertation on the concept of democracy of the first Czech president Tomasz Masaryk. After 4 hours, he asked the president Jana Skopečka: – Can I take my coat off? due to the fact that I'm going to talk for a long time and I'd like a small more comfort. Skopeček didn't mind. Okamura addressed matters of religion and philosophy. He told how Jesus taught about his neighbor’s love. He argued that Plato believed only philosophers could establish a just government.
After six hours, he complained: – Why are there 4 bottles of water on the platform but no coffee? And he began to reminisce about first grade simple school. After 8 hours, the tireless orator confessed: – I don't even want to go to the bathroom.. – I'm checking from behind to see if everything's all right— replied the Deputy Marshal of the Chamber of Members Karel Havlíček. Members laughed with a pearly laugh. The discussion on the correspondence election was moved to the next day.
