In a trial held in the Tokyo District Court on the 17th, Kita commented, `` I did not want my wife and other family members to know that I had sterile surgery, and at that time I did not know anything about the Eugenic Protection Law at the time. It was too cruel to claim that the state had no right to sue after 20 years. "
