It has been reported that Ichiro Ozawa, a former ruling-party leader’s condition is critical as he has admitted to hospital last night because of kidney stone problems. It has been informed that Ozawa would be required to hospitalize for a period of week.

However, it has been informed that as compared to last night Ozawa’s health condition has improved as his pain has lessened noticeably. His hospitalization was followed by confession in the Court of not breaching any Japan's political funding law.

Mr. Ozawa has previously been a subject of criticism as last year he won over former premier Naoto Kan and took his position. A trial held on him on Thursday found him guilty of misusing the state power. Soon after the verdict, Mr. Ozawa reported of having severe pain.

He was taken to the Tokyo hospital via ambulance with serious condition.

Prior to the incident, Mr. Ozawa was brought to the hospital in 1991 because of heart related complication. However, by the efforts of doctors and surgeons, his health recovered and soon he was discharged. It is hoped that this time as well doctors will make his health and will discharge him soon.
