Akita Pride March, which was announced to be held in May 2020 for the first time, was cancelled in both 2020 and 2021 due to the Corona Division, but this year, like a budding butterfly in spring after enduring a long winter, the event was finally realized. On May 28, about 100 participants started from in front of Akita Station, went to the park where the castle of the local lord used to be located, and paraded through the main street again to the station square.
In the morning, activist and trans woman Tomato Hatano, head of TransGenderJapan, gave a lecture on the history of PRIDE.
