[PAR] [TLE] Kenji Fujimoto [SEP] Kenji Fujimoto (藤本 健二 , Fujimoto Kenji , born 1947) is the pen name of a Japanese chef who claimed that he was former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's personal sushi chef from 1988 to 2001.  Fujimoto published a memoir in 2003 entitled "I was Kim Jong-il's Cook", detailing many of his experiences with Kim Jong-il.  Many people doubted the veracity of his claim.  However, Fujimoto, contrary to the prevailing consensus of experts on North Korean politics, asserted that Kim Jong-un (who was relatively unknown at that time), rather than Kim Jong-nam, would be appointed as Jong-il's successor.  Fujimoto's prediction proved true when Jong-un succeeded his father as Supreme Leader in December 2011. [PAR] [TLE] Kim Jong-nam [SEP] Kim Jong-nam (Chosŏn'gŭl: 김정남 ; Hancha: 金正男 , ] or ] ] ; 10 May 1971 – 13 February 2017) was the eldest son of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.  From roughly 1994 to 2001, he was considered the heir apparent to his father.  He was thought to have fallen out of favour after embarrassing the regime in 2001 with a failed attempt to visit Tokyo Disneyland with a false passport, although Kim said his loss of favour was due to advocating reform.
