TOKYO: Typhoon Dujuan left at least four people dead and 22 injured in Japan, while thousands of houses near Tokyo remained without power after the storm swept through the region, authorities said Tuesday (Sep 22).
The typhoon moved away from Japan's coast and out into the Pacific by morning, allowing authorities to lift or downgrade most heavy rain and landslide warnings.
Dujuan had already led to the early closure of one of the world's biggest video game trade fairs, in Tokyo.
