Outburst by Japanese minister at press conference overshadowed by…his Eva anime tie

Masahiro Imamura, the minister in charge of reconstruction in the disaster-hit Tohoku area, made news this week after he stormed out of a press conference following a heated exchange with a Japanese journalist.

The necktie comes from a Japanese anime studio called Gainax, which has produced a number of popular productions over the years, including Neon Genesis Evangelion.

It’s just unfortunate that he chose to lose his temper at the press conference, regardless of what type of outfit he was wearing.
