A celebrity YouTuber turned member of parliament is about to become the first Japanese lawmaker to be kicked out of parliament without actually entering.
Yoshikazu Higashitani was ousted on Tuesday by his Senate colleagues for never showing up to work.
He has not attended a single day of parliament since he was elected to office seven months ago.

Voters elected Mr. Higashitani to the upper house last July. He is better known as GaaSyy on YouTube who is famous for his celebrity gossip videos.
