After talking with a Japanese friend about the protests in Okinawa against the American military presence there i found it interesting that many Japanese are upset at the Okinawa Governor (for taking money from somewhere and using state resources to stage protests) and i was pointed to a blog and a newspaper article. Unfortunately they are written in Japanese and quick translation is beyond me even with the modern translation tools. I may work through it in detail with my friend at a later date.
One thing of note is the evidence of the PRC attending (encouraging) the protests. My friend gave them the status of agent provocateurs.
I take the liberty of copying the photos specifically because i do not wish to lose track of them:
Update 11/18/12
Okinawa Govenor, Hirokazu Nakaima, continues his quest
Update 8/26/2013
Article from Stars and Stripes about Pro-American Japanese protesting America's presence on Okinawa to undermine the "real" protesters.
