Denny Tamaki, right, hands out a letter of protest to Lt. Gen. Eric Smith, U.S. Marines commander in Japan, at Okinawa Prefectural Government Office in Naha, Okinawa, Japan, Monday, April 15, 2019. The commander is asking service people on the southwestern region of Okinawa to keep a low profile to show respect after a sailor allegedly stabbed a Japanese woman and then killed himself. Japan’s Foreign Ministry said the sailor stabbed the woman and killed himself Saturday. A plan to relocate a Marine Corps air station called Futenma to a less populated part of Okinawa has also been contentious. Tamaki met with Smith on Monday to discuss the need for more efforts to contain crime by U.S. service people on Okinawa.
