JAPAN TODAY — Jan 22 — More than 1,600 dating sites were registered with local public security boards during a period of about one month after a stricter law regulating such websites was introduced, the National Police Agency. The NPA said a total of 432 applications were filed between Dec 1, 2008 and Jan. 5, 2009 to register a total of 1,627 online dating sites.

‘‘The number of registered websites is fewer than we expected. We assume that some website operators shut down their websites after the tougher law was implemented,’’ an NPA official said. According to the NPA tally, the largest number of applications came from website operators based in Tokyo at 286, followed by 57 in Osaka and 14 in Kanagawa prefecture
