This page reports that Maki Takubo, former mayor of Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture, was indicted in absentia on charges of forgery and falsifying official documents and violations of local autonomy law. According to the indictment, Takubo fabricated his university diploma by obtaining seals bearing the names of a university president and law faculty dean through the internet, then stamping them on a forged graduation certificate shown to multiple people in June 2025. He made false statements to the city assembly's special committee. Takubo was initially elected mayor in May 2025 but lost a no-confidence vote and failed re-election in December.
