Japanese governments dont like to be told to sign stuff... custody / whaling etc.

But when they 'create' the concept, it is pushed everywhere... Kyoto Protocol etc.

Gaijintraveller - Mr. Savoie did change his nationality - I knew the family when they lived in fuk...

But, I dont know if he has changed it back ( if that is possible!? ). I guess he may have just not told the American government of his Japanese citizenship...

tokyotom - i think he is some kind of pharmacist or similar...and took Japanese nationality to become head of his company. I doubt that they worked for Nissen.

The father had taken Japanese nationality, so they are saying that it is now a domestic case... I wonder though if he has changed back to an American national.

the American courts seem to have given the father custody, and after the mother brought the kids back to japan, the japanese courts have given the mother custody...

I lost my uncle to the same cancer in July after a 5 month battle. Such an awful and quick cancer. Very sad about Patrick. R.I.P
