	Metropolis - Big in Japan: Makiko Tanaka
		Makiko Tanaka, daughter of Kakuei Tanaka, Japan' most revered postwar Prime Minister, was recently inducted as Japanese Foreign Minister and no longer seems to be following in her father's footsteps.
		Tanaka's outspoken and irreverent political style has gained her cult status among the Japanese public, and since becoming the country's first female front-ranking cabinet appointee, she has stamped her dominance on the political landscape.
		Tanaka entered the Diet in 1991, and from then on the public spotlight was now firmly on the outspoken lawmaker, not only because she was the heiress to Japan's most renowned postwar political dynasty, but because she was a woman.

		Tanaka told reporters that she wanted to attend the U.N. meetings and was surprised that lawmakers rejected her plans on Friday, saying she needed to remain in Tokyo for Diet discussions of a supplemental budget.
