The company's first premises were at Minami-dōri, Edobori in Osaka. On 13 September of the same year, Asahi printed its first editorial. In 1881, the Asahi adopted an all-news format, and enlisted <a href="/wiki/Ueno_Riichi" title="Ueno Riichi">Ueno Riichi</a> as co-owner. From 1882, Asahi began to receive financial support from the Government and <a href="/wiki/Mitsui" title="Mitsui">Mitsui</a>, and hardened the management base. Then, under the leadership of Ueno, whose brother was one of the Mitsui managers, and Murayama, the Asahi began its steady ascent to national prominence. On 10 July 1888, the first issue of the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun was published from the <a href="/wiki/Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a> office at Motosukiyachō, Kyōbashi.

The section won many awards, including the <a href="/wiki/Japan_Newspaper_Publishers_and_Editors_Association" title="Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association">Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association</a> Award in 2012 and again in 2013.<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> In May 2014, the section published what it hoped would be its biggest scoop yet: a copy of the firsthand account of the disaster given by <a href="/wiki/Masao_Yoshida_(nuclear_engineer)" title="Masao Yoshida (nuclear engineer)">Masao Yoshida</a>, who was the manager of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant when the triple meltdown occurred; the testimony, recorded by government investigators, had been kept hidden from public view. In the testimony, Yoshida said that 90% of the plant's employees had left the plant at the height of the crisis despite him having given instructions for them to remain. He also testified that he believed his instructions had simply not reached the employees in the chaos of the disaster. However, controversy erupted over the Asahi story, and particularly the headline, which stated: “Workers Evacuated, Violating Plant Manager Orders."<a href="#cite_note-Fackler-46">[46]</a> The newspaper came under intense criticism for slandering the workers by implying that they had fled the plant due to cowardice, when many in Japan had come to see Yoshida and plant workers as heroes who had prevented a worse disaster at the plant.<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a> Japanese journalist Ryusho Kadota, who have previously interviewed Yoshida and plant workers, was one of the first to criticize the Asahi for mischaracterizing the evacuation.<a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a> The Asahi at first defended its story, demanding that Kadota's publisher apologize and issue a correction.<a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a> However, in August, the <a href="/wiki/Yomiuri_Shimbun" title="Yomiuri Shimbun">Yomiuri Shimbun</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sankei_Shimbun" title="Sankei Shimbun">Sankei Shimbun</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kyodo_News" title="Kyodo News">Kyodo News</a> and <a href="/wiki/NHK" title="NHK">NHK</a> all acquired the same testimony, apparently from the government, and used it not to shed light on the disaster, but to attack the Asahi.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a><a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> In mid-September, facing intense criticism from other media and the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for its Fukushima coverage and also its retractions of the comfort women stories, the Asahi suddenly announced that the Yoshida story had been mistaken and retracted it.

Shukusatsuban are geared towards libraries and archives, and are usually organized and released by month. These resources are available at many leading research universities throughout the world (usually universities with reputable <a href="/wiki/Japan" title="Japan">Japanese</a> studies programs). The Asahi Shimbun has a CD-ROM database consisting of an index of headlines and sub-headlines from the years 1945–1999.
