Tokyo Olympics composer resigns after admitting bullying disabled classmates

• Keigo Oyamada steps down from opening ceremony role
• I apologise from the bottom of my heart'

A Japanese musician who admitted bullying classmates, some of whom had disabilities, while at school has resigned as a composer for the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Keigo Oyamada, who is better known as Cornelius, initially resisted calls to quit after reports surfaced last week of magazine interviews he gave in the mid-1990s in which he appeared to boast about the incidents.
