Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi pays his respects at the controversial Yasukuni Shrine, honouring Japan's war dead, in Tokyo in this picture taken January 1, 2004. Analysts say it's unlikely Koizumi will visit the shrine on August 15, the anniversary of Japan's defeat in World War Two, for fear of dividing voters ahead of next month's general election. Still, analysts also note the unpredictable Koizumi has proved their forecasts wrong before. Picture taken January 1, 2004.
