USJ Co. Ltd. that manages Universal Studios Japan (USJ) in Osaka announced a new theme park project in Okinawa in February 2014. However, the project was withdrawn in February 2016. The new theme park might be profitable if casino business was possible. Casino business is highly profitable. A casino bill was rejected at the Diet. Later, USJ Okinawa project was withdrawn. Okinawa is a small market for a big theme park. The Okinawa Prefectural Governor, Nakaima invited a new theme park instead of US military relocation to Henoko. The next Governor, Onaga had a different policy. USJ Co. Ltd. needed the support of the Okinawa Prefectural Governor. The USJ Okinawa project was a national political matter. Because it was withdrawn, USJ Co. Ltd. concentrates on USJ in Osaka.
