Mayor Tamura Toshio of Kanna Town passed away on May 10th at the hospital where he was admitted due to illness. He was 70 years old. He had been in charge of town administration while undergoing cancer treatment since April 2021, but his health deteriorated after the regular town council meeting in March this year, and his condition suddenly worsened on the 8th of this month. He had been working hard to utilize tourism resources, such as promoting forestry in the town, renovating the dinosaur center, and opening an auto campsite. During Mayor Tamura's term in office, there was no deputy mayor or superintendent of education, so it is expected that there will be a gap in town administration for some time to come.
