Devin Jacob Ballard, 20, who is stationed at Futenma Air Station, on suspicion of strangling Anna Yagi, 39, at a hotel in the island&#8217;s capital city of Naha early on Oct. 3, 2026 and stealing her wallet and backpack. He has denied the allegations, according to Japanese media. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Koja, who was elected governor in September, is the first Okinawa leader in 12 years who has approved of a contentious U.S. military base relocation plan. <\/p>\n<p>The central government&#8217;s plan is to keep the U.S. Marine Corps&#8217; Futenma air base on Okinawa&#8217;s main island, but move it to a less populated location.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span
