18 марта 2021
The Organizing Committee of the Tokyo Olympics accepted the resignation of its creative director after the scandal over the idea of an actress in the guise of a pig participating in the opening ceremony of the games. Hioshi Sasaki suggested that during the ceremony, famous Japanese actress Naomi Watanabe descended from the sky in a pig costume in a scene called Olym - pig. Probably, it was supposed that such a words combination would look funny. The idea was found to be inappropriate and demonstrates a dismissive attitude towards women.
