Kishi Nobusuke(1896―1987)

Maiden name, Sato, he was adopted by Kishi Nobumasa. After graduating from the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo, he entered the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce and quickly gained attention as an innovative young bureaucrat. In 1936 (the 11th year of Showa), he became the Deputy Director of the Manchurian Ministry of Industry, where he played a substantial role in the Manchurian economy. In the later stages of the Pacific War, he served as the Minister of Commerce and Industry and the Minister of State in the cabinet of Prime Minister Tojo Hideki. After being expelled following the end of the war, he quickly returned to the political scene once the ban was lifted. He became the Secretary-General of the Japan Democratic Party and subsequently became the president of the same party. In 1957 (the 32nd year of Showa era), he assumed the position of Prime Minister of Japan and formed cabinets in two separate terms.
He was known for his ability to discern the trends of the times and is considered a typical example of a bureaucrat-turned-politician. During his second term as Prime Minister, he forcefully pushed for the revision of the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and resigned upon its enactment. Although he retired from parliamentary activities in 1979 (the 54th year of Showa era), he continued to wield significant influence in the political arena, earning nicknames like "monster in Showa" and "great leader". In the same year, he received the United Nations Peace Prize. He passed away in 1987 (the 62th year of Showa era) at the age of 92.
