According to reports, Nonomura has produced no receipts for the nearly 200 return train trips throughout the year. It's claimed he spent three-million yen ($30,000) on travel in the 2013-14 financial year.

In his press conference, Nonomura let off various outbursts including, "I finally became an assembly member … with the sole purpose of changing society."

"This Japan … I want to change this society … I have staked my life," he said.

"Don't you understand?!"

Japanese Twitter users have already started lampooning Nonomura.
