On July 8, 2022, in Nara City, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was reportedly shot and killed while delivering a campaign speech for the Upper House elections. The suspect, Tomoya Yamagami, unemployed, has been indicted on charges including murder and violation of the Firearms and Swords Control Law, but the full details leading up to the incident remain unclear. Shinzo Abe, known for his persuasive speaking skills and humorous rhetoric, was a highly respected politician. He left behind numerous memorable quotes and words of wisdom from his many speeches and public appearances. A set of Karuta cards featuring his quotes is set to be released in June, generating significant attention.
