Former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda has died at the age of 90. Japanese media reported on October 26 that he died of heart failure on October 22 at a hospital in Tokyo, according to Kyodo News and the Nikkei business daily. Fukuda, the son of 1970s Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda, entered politics in 1990 at age 53 when he was first elected to the Lower House, and later served as chief cabinet secretary. Korean outlets emphasize his efforts to improve relations with Asian neighbors, particularly South Korea and China, with Dong-a Ilbo quoting his call to "open a new era in Korea-Japan relations."
