Kishiro Nakamura (75), former Minister of Construction (15th term) of the Kitakanto House of Representatives Cadet Party, announced his retirement from politics after his term ends, and his eldest son Hayato Nakamura (37), a member of the Ibaraki Prefecture Assembly, held a press conference at Furukawa City Hall on the 26th. He announced his intention to run as an independent candidate of the opposition party.

In 1976, when Mr. Kishimura ran for the House of Representatives for the first time, he changed his name to the same name as his father, Nakamura Kishinomura (who died in 1971), who had served as a member of the Ibaraki Prefecture Assembly and a member of the House of Representatives. Although there are many hereditary members of the ruling and opposition parties, there are very few who can pass on their names. Some locals have long been looking forward to the birth of the “third generation.”

At the press conference, a question appeared as if asked to a kabuki actor: “Won’t you change your name to ‘Nakamura Kishiro’?” Yuta’s answer was… (Mikari Miyao, Takayuki Aoki)

The second generation, Mr. Kishiro Nakamura, changed his surname from his original name “Nobu” to “Kishimura” not because of the campaign, but because he wanted to inherit the management rights of the Nakamura family Iwai Driving School. East City running is changing.

Changing the name in the household register requires permission from the Family Court, but permission is often granted in the case of inheritance of a family business. A famous example might be Nakano Mataemon, the founder of the Mizkan Group. From the founder at the end of the Edo period to Nakano Mataemon Kazuhide, who served as president from 2002 to 2014, eight generations have passed.

In modern Japan, inheriting the name of the previous generation is common in traditional performing arts such as kabuki and rakugo, tea ceremony and flower arrangement, sumo wrestling and kyōji, but these are not the real names on the household registration.

According to the biography of the second generation Kishiro Nakamura, “The Complete Confessions of the Undefeated Man Kishiro Nakamura”, Ibaraki Prefecture’s 3rd district (5 seats) only has Liberal Democratic Party members such as Sotoku Akagi and Kyoshiro Niwa. With four people packed in, the second generation decided to capitalize on their father’s popularity to break into the market.

The second generation said in an interview with writer Kenichi Tsunei that “inheriting his father’s image of a populist politician (opposing political forces supported by the local privileged class), he will defeat Akagi and Niwa.” This is my assumption. ” he said.

◆The 11th scapegoat in the Yodoyama Incident, Nobu Yoyama

On April 5, 1970, at Haneda Airport, Minister of State for Transport Shinjiro Yamamura (first term) who survived the Yodo hijacking in North Korea.

Politicians may seem to be changing their names, but in reality, it’s not that common. In addition to “Kishiro Nakamura”, another famous name is “Shinjiro Yamamura”. The family has been a rice merchant in Katori City, Chiba Prefecture since the Edo period, and the 10th and 11th generations served as members of the House of Representatives.

Shinjiro Yamamura, the 11th Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and Minister of Transportation, was hijacked by the “Yotu” in March 1970 when he was the Parliamentary Secretary for Transportation, and negotiated with the hijacking group in Seoul, South Korea. In exchange for releasing the passengers, he was taken hostage and traveled to North Korea, but he returned safely and was praised as “a man among men.”

The second generation Obuchi Mitsuhei is the brother of former Prime Minister Obuchi Keizo and the mayor of Nakanojo Town in Gunma Prefecture. He changed his real name to the name of his father, who was a member of the House of Representatives.

Another example is Choemon Kikuchi, who was elected to the Iwate Prefecture House of Representatives for three consecutive generations. Kikuchi Nagaemon, the third-generation member of the Democratic Party of Japan, once served as a member of the Iwate Prefecture and the mayor of Miyako City, Iwate Prefecture. He entered the Democratic House of Representatives in 2009 and quit the party in 2012 to join the “People’s Life First” party. Work together with Mr. Ichiro Ozawa.

◆ “I am determined not to inherit this name.”

It is a well-known fact in Ibaraki Prefecture that Mr. Kishiro Nakamura, who recently announced his retirement, is the second generation of the company.

At the press conference, Nakamura Yuta was asked “Aren’t you going to inherit the name ‘Kishiro’?” He immediately replied: “I am determined not to inherit a well-known name. I will not inherit it even if it is a joke.” When another reporter asked again “Have you ever thought about this?” he replied: “I have never thought about this. My father is still alive, so I will report on it.” “I will.” Keep playing Yuta Nakamura,” he said with a smile.

However, even if Yuta did not inherit his father’s inheritance, it does not change the fact that he was able to inherit the foundation (organization), logo (famousness), and bag (financial power) from his father. In particular, the Nakamura family’s support group, the Muyukai, is known for its iron-clad unity and has extremely high vote-getting power.

When asked about criticism of hereditary inheritance, Yuta stressed: “No matter how hard I try, people always say I am hereditary. I want to do my best to make people forget that I am hereditary.”

In the next House of Representatives election, current member of the Liberal Democratic Party Keiko Nagaoka (70 years old, 6th term, former Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) also plans to run for the 7th District Member of Ibaraki Prefecture.
