In front of the long-awaited traffic light, Shu Ozawa, right, and his escort, Cpl. Hunter Smith from the Marine Corps Base Provost Marshal's Office, are interviewed by Toyama TV program staff, Camp Foster, Okinawa, March 25.
Ozawa, an elementary school student from Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture, loves traffic lights. He applied to a local broadcasting station in the prefecture to participate in a program called "Granting the Wishes of the Prefecture's Citizens" when he saw a picture of a "hanging traffic light" used at the base on the internet, saying "I want to see a very rare traffic light!" With Camp Foster's full cooperation, this event was realized. The escort Marine happened to speak fluent Japanese.
