TOKYO (Reuters) - A Tokyo restaurant operator suing the city for mandating shorter business hours decried the "hypocrisy" of health officials who flout the government's own COVID-19 contagion protocols.

Kozo Hasegawa, the operator of 43 restaurants including one that inspired the movie "Kill Bill: Volume I," is contesting the constitutionality of the measures and said that reports of bureaucrats going out at night proves they do not believe in the protocols either.
