Sapporo architect faked quake data

Ryoichi Asanuma、a certified second-class architect, apologizes for faking quake data for buildings at a media conference in Sapporo on March 7.

Five Sapporo condominium complexes have been confirmed to have been built with faked earthquake-resistance data, the land ministry said March 7, and the city is investigating 28 more buildings the architect who compiled the data has said are not sufficiently quake-proof.

Ryoichi Asanuma, a certified architect second-class, compiled the faked quake data for the five complexes.

Asanuma, who is based in Sapporo, has told Sapporo Municipal Government officials that he faked quake-resistance data on 33 buildings in Sapporo, and the city is probing the remaining 28 sites, ministry officials said.
