2011 fan incident

[edit]

On 19 August 2011, during a league match between Lierse and Germinal Beerschot, which Lierse were leading 1–0, Kawashima was subjected to taunts and insults by Beerschot supporters, who chanted "Kawashima, Fukushima!" in reference to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. After being confronted by Kawashima, the referee halted the match for several minutes until order was restored. After the match had ended in a 1–1 draw, Kawashima left in tears, visibly upset at the insults. Kawashima said, "I can pass on many things, but not that. This is not funny. Using the drama of Fukushima in this manner is not at all funny."[76]

After the match, Beerschot released a statement on the incident: "Our fans have crossed a thin line where a bit of fun turns into something serious. The chants aimed at Lierse goalkeeper Kawashima were offensive and completely out of order".[77] However, Beerschot said that Kawashima was partly to blame: "The Lierse shot-stopper also took part in this as he provoked the Beerschot fans with offensive gestures and facial expressions. Our own goalkeeper Stijn Stijnen on the other hand never reacted to abusive chants and insults from the Lierse faithful." Beerschot further emphasized that it was completely unacceptable to assert insults of this nature.[78]

The club's statement enraged Lierse, who took the matter to the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) and soon after, Beerschot posted an apology to the Japanese on their website.[79] The RBFA fined Beerschot 30,000 Swiss francs (¥2.7 million and US$34,920) and RBFA officials apologized not only to Kawashima, but also to Jun Yokota, the Japanese ambassador to Belgium, over the incident.[80][81] However, Beerschot announced their intention to appeal against their decision, based on the amount of fine they received as well as their financial problems.[82] In the end, the Appeals Committee of the KBVB reduced the fines to €16,400 instead.[83] However, the club were still unsatisfied with the fines and in February 2012, the Appeals Committee of the KBVB reduced the fines to €2,480 plus the legal costs.[84]

On 22 September 2011, Beerschot formally apologized to Kawashima.[85] Responding to Beerschot's apology, he said: "I myself have no family in the region, but I have been there visiting. People still suffer from the situation. For me, these excuses are sufficient. I also do not think supporters should be allowed to call anything anymore. They must be able to create atmosphere, but there are limits."[86]

A year later in October 2012, French television host Laurent Ruquier made a joke about the 'Fukushima effect' and Kawashima after he showed a picture in live audience of composite picture about Kawashima with four arms.[87] This caused outrage from Japan, who criticised Ruquier for "lacking consideration."[88] The next day, Ruquier apologised for the joke.[89]

When Beerschot and Lierse met again on 26 December 2011, Kawashima started the whole game, as they drew 0–0. During the match, Beerschot's supporters asked him for forgiveness.[90]
