Mino:
What's up? You know, Arnold's in Tokyo! He's gonna meet the Japanese prime minister and CEO of Toyota. He was on live TV program NEWS 23 last night. I taped It I'll send you a copy!"

A huge poster of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger adorning the Roppongi Hills building is visible from the Tokyo highway in Tokyo.

Opening a four-day California trade and tourism blitz with a food fair at a glitzy hotel, California's governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was the toast of Tokyo.

The Austrian Oak noted that he's visited Japan in the past to promote everything from the Special Olympics to bodybuilding not to mention his more lucrative product endorsements.

"...today I'm here for the most important reason of all," he said, to "promote, market and sell California." Schwarzenegger was speaking at the Taste of California food fair, which featured a cooking performance by three U.S. chefs using California products.

He was scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi Friday and with representatives of the auto and electronics industries throughout the visit, which ends Saturday.
