On this day, 36 years ago, on April 11, 1989 (March 6, 1989 in the lunar calendar), Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita resigned. Prime Minister Takeshita was questioned on the "Lee Case" in the House of Representatives. On April 11, 1989, Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita admitted in the House of Representatives of Japan that he and his relatives had received a total of 151 million yen in political donations from Likut Company from 1985 to 1987, causing public uproar. Japan began to impose a consumption tax on April 1, making citizens even more dissatisfied. According to surveys, the support rating of the Takehita cabinet dropped to nearly 3%, making it one of the lowest support ratings of the cabinets after the war. Under such circumstances, Takeshita, who had been in power for less than two years, resigned on the 25th. On the same day, the Tokyo local prosecutor said that the investigation of the "Lee case" would not be affected by the resignation of the Prime Minister. On the 26th, Takeshita's former secretary Ihei Aoki committed suicide. Aoki is a close confidant of Takeshita and is in charge of the financial power of Takeshita. He handles all donations or loans from Likute Company to Takeshita.
