Former Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori resigned as the chief of the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee after he made sexist comments that added more troubles to the virus-delayed Olympics.
Mori, 83, announced he was stepping down at an emergency meeting of the group held Friday, after he called his remarks "inappropriate," and said he cannot be a hindrance to Olympics preparations.
The gaffe-prone former premier touched off a global backlash, a rare rebuke from the International Olympic Committee and criticism from crucial sponsors such as Toyota Motor Corp. after making derogatory remarks this month about women, including saying they talk too much in meetings.

More than two years after the arrest of auto titan Carlos Ghosn on charges of financial crimes, the Nissan Motor Co. executive said to be key to the downfall of the carmaker's former chairman has broken his silence.
Hari Nada, a senior vice president at the Yokohama-based company, appeared in the Tokyo District Court on Thursday, taking the stand in the trial of Greg Kelly, the former Nissan director who was arrested on the same day as Ghosn in November 2018.
