Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told reporters Sunday that a change in his Cabinet was coming soon. Japanese media reports said new ministers may be named Friday.<\/p>\n

The opposition has been demanding that Defense Minister Yasuo Ichikawa be fired after he made a series of gaffes, including a remark that he did not know details about the 1995 rape of a schoolgirl by three U.S. servicemen on the southwestern island of Okinawa. The incident sparked one of the biggest anti-U.S. protests in Japan and raised concerns over America’s military presence there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
