I see a lot of vague hate for him here and biased links being posted.
What exactly is your issue with him? Without using buzzwords like "historic revisionist" or "far-right, ultra-racist".

Mainly people are saying he's racist because he visited Yasukini Shrine that honors the dead from Japan's wars when he resigned to "inform the spirits".
It's not like visiting a "Nazi elite general" grave like another user made an analogy of.
This is all ridiculous and you people are despicable and disgusting for making slanderous claims especially at a time like this. Terrible.
He is, like many other Japanese, hell bent on rewriting Japanese history with a positive spin, completely ignoring or at best downplaying their colonisation atrocities before and during WW2. Wasn't he the one who went to a shrine to a "WW2 hero" who also just happened to be a war criminal?
Historic revisionism is an apt description, not a "buzzword".
Yasukuni Shrine isn't only for WW2 criminals, but also for who died on previous wars. As a Japanese, I don't think it's bad to go to the shrine unless denying historical fact or praising criminals. It's uncomfortable that foreign countries blames about that. Maybe WW2 criminals shouldn't be buried at the shrine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasukuni_Shrine
