The sushi chef who served the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il said he hopes to bring Megumi Yokota, one of the Japanese abducted to North Korea, back to Japan.

"It is my dream to bring (her) back, as a bridge between Japan and North Korea," said the 65-year-old chef who is known by the alias Kenji Fujimoto.

He visited North Korea from late July to early August and met with the current North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, a son of Kim Jong Il.
