On September 1, 2015, the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee settled on a policy of no longer using the emblem it had chosen for the Games. The designer had revised the emblem after it won the competition. A Belgian designer had sued, saying it resembled his logo for a theater in Liège, and claims of copying had spread online.
The new selection was open to the public and drew 14,599 entries. On April 25, 2016, the committee chose Kumi ichimatsu mon, a checkered design by the artist Tokoro Asao.
