The head of the US State Department's desk for Japan has been replaced, for apparently making disparaging remarks about the people of Okinawa.
Japanese media quoted the official, Kevin Maher, as saying Okinawans were lazy and used their island's hosting of US military bases to extort benefits.
The State Department said the remarks attributed to Mr Maher were regrettable and did not reflect government policy.
