Japan's newly appointed Defence Minister Yuriko Koike smiles after being greeted at the Defence Ministry in Tokyo July 4, 2007. Japan's first-ever female defence minister, former TV presenter Koike, was appointed after her predecessor Fumio Kyuma was forced to quit over remarks over the weekend that appeared to accept the 1945 U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
