		TOKYO: Former Japanese prime minister Morihiro Hosokawa quit the opposition New Frontier Party Wednesday amid signs he was distancing himself from behind-the-scenes moves to set up a new coalition government.

		Since the merger, Hosokawa and his allies have lost much of their appeal, with many blaming Ozawa who has traditionally played more of a backroom role in Japanese politics.
