According to Emi Koyama, writer for "JapanFocus", Yon was given book deals and speaking tours by Yoshiko Sakurai, a Japanese conservative member from the right-wing revisionist lobby, Nippon Kaigi. Sakurai asked Yon to publish articles about denying the sexual enslavement of the Imperial Japanese comfort women program before and during WWII in the English media and even speak at her think tank about it. Al Jazeera also reported that Yon viewed the comfort women issue as a strategic "information war" meant to keep Japan divided and weak.
