Controversy

[edit]

On 13 August 2024, in an interview upon her return to Japan from the 2024 Summer Olympics, Hayata expressed her desire to visit the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots.[15] Her remarks sparked heated discussions and criticism in China and South Korea, where many believed she was affirming Japanese militarism against China and Korea during World War II.[16][17] The day after her comments, Sun Yingsha and Chinese table tennis player Fan Zhendong unfollowed Hayata on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, while the official Weibo account of the People's Liberation Army posted a message stating that "promoting this so-called 'Peace Hall' will do no good to Japan's future" and "we must be vigilant against the lingering ghost of militarism and prevent the tragedy of history from repeating itself."[18][19] Two days after her remarks, China's national television broadcaster, China Central Television (CCTV), removed videos of Hayata's matches in the Olympics from its online platform.[20]
