Shintaro Ishihara
In 2000, Oogi proposed that Haneda Airport expand international air service. Narita Airport, which almost monopolized international flight service to Tokyo, is so distant from central Tokyo that there has long been a strong call among Tokyoites and Yokohamans for international air service of Haneda Airport. Oogi's proposal was welcomed by Shintaro Ishihara, Governor of Tokyo.
