The celebrity YouTuber never attended a session, and is thought to be living in the U.A.E.
A celebrity gossip YouTuber, who thought he would try his hand at being a politician, has been expelled from Japan’s parliament just months after becoming an MP.
The individual, who is known as “GaaSyy” on YouTube, has never attended a single day of work since being elected.
The parliament’s discipline committee says it has stripped him of his status because of this continued absence.
On YouTube, he is famous for his celebrity gossip videos.
Expulsion is the most severe punishment a lawmaker can receive and it has only ever happened twice before.
The chamber is set to formalise the decision later this week.
The lawmaker has been nicknamed ‘No-show MP’ and is believed to be living in the United Arab Emirates.
He has so far refused to attend parliament amid fears he will be arrested over fraud allegations, and defamation claims from celebrities.
