“It was a plastic sword, used as a prop in a ...reenactment of a notorious political assassination.”

Could you elaborate? Provide illustrations? What is the source of your information?

I was there. This was a transcript of Gavin’s own notes that I took a photo of:

Introduce Inejiro Asanuma, head of Japan’s Socialist Party.
(XXX, not Gavin, took the podium and began giving a speech)

Gavin yells
SEVEN LIVES FOR MY COUNTRY
This is a quote from the great Samurai Kusunoki Masashige
(slow motion simulated death scene)

XXX and I introduce ourselves as ourselves and not Inejiro and Otoya.

Gavin: What a hero Otoya was. Pour a beer our for him.
(Gavin pours some Sapporo beer on the floor before swigging the beer down)

(Speech begins, in a similar vein of outlandish humor)

Historical reference:
