Junichirō Koizumi
Junichiro Koizumi (小泉 純一郎, Koizumi Jun'ichirō), born January 8, 1942, is a Japanese politician who was the 87th Prime Minister of Japan from 2001 to 2006. He retired from politics when his term in parliament ended in 2009, and was the fifth-longest serving prime minister in the history of Japan.
Widely seen as a maverick leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), he became known as an economic reformer, focusing on Japan's government debt and the privatization of its postal service. In 2005, Koizumi led the LDP to win one of the largest parliamentary majorities in modern Japanese history. Affiliated to the openly revisionist lobby Nippon Kaigi, which advocates among other things the return to militarism, the denial of Japanese war crimes, and visits to Yasukuni Shrine, Koizumi also attracted international attention through his deployment of the Japan Self-Defense Forces to Iraq, and through his visits to the controversial shrine that fueled diplomatic tensions with neighboring China and South Korea.

Famous quotes by Junichiro Koizumi:
"To me, the appeal of opera lies in the fact that a myriad of singers and instruments, each possessed of different qualities of voice and sound, against the backdrop of a grand stage and beautiful costumes, come together in one complete and impressive drama."
"Did you know that the word "tsunami," which is now being used worldwide, is a Japanese word? This is indicative of the extent to which Japan has been subject to frequent tsunami disasters in the past."
"The pains felt by Asian countries are our own pains. Disaster in Asia is nothing but ours as well."
"President Bush has built up enough experience... in the past four years, so I expect he will continue to actively contribute to world peace and stability under international co-ordination."
"We will select candidates for all electoral districts,"
"Mr Noguchi, I tried the space noodles, but how did they taste in space? Were they good?"
"There is no change in the difficult situation, but people are saying there is a fifty-fifty chance of them passing, so we must keep up our efforts until the end,"
"The upper house decided that postal privatization is not needed. So I would like to ask the general public whether it supports or opposes it. That's why I dissolved Parliament, ... I will do my best to win the elections so that I can continue the reforms."
"I offer deep prayers from my heart to those who were killed,"
"We also will take the lead in the international community to promote ... nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation and do our best to abolish nuclear weapons,"

10. Koizumi walking out
STORYLINE:
Vowing not to be cowed by North Korea's "provocative words," Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said
on Thursday it is important to send a strong message to Pyongyang that it cannot blackmail the international community with threats of building a nuclear arsenal.
He stopped short of advocating economic sanctions against the communist nation, however, and said that while Japan should study stronger missile defences, Tokyo must remain committed to its longstanding policy of using the military strictly for self-defence.
"They have made statements that are like blackmail," he said during a press facility with APTN and a small group of reporters, "It is important for us to approach them, to work on them, to make them understand that such a position is meaningless."
Although Koizumi said Tokyo still wants to resolve the North Korean issue peacefully, he added that he believes there was a need to increase research into missiles.
Japan launched its first spy satellites in March in large part to monitor North Korea's missile development, North Korea in turn shocked the Japanese by firing a ballistic missile over its main island in 1998.
Koizumi, who is up for re-election when his tenure as president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party expires on September 30, has also struggled with how to turn Japan's ailing economy around.
He stressed that Japan remains an economic superpower, but his handling of the economy has been widely panned.

STORYLINE:
President George W. Bush on Tuesday hailed the latest signs that other nations were joining the coalition against terror.
He spoke to reporters as he posed with Japan's prime minister for pictures outside the Oval Office.
Speaking to the gathered media, Bush pointed to Saudi Arabia's decision to cut ties with the Afghan government -- and Russia's promise to bolster the Afghan opposition.
Despite his nation's pacifist constitution, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi promised to provide logistical and medical help to US forces.
Two Japanese newspapers have reported Japan will send warships to the Indian Ocean as early as this week to carry out intelligence and surveillance missions.
The squadron may accompany the USS Kitty Hawk, an aircraft carrier that left its base near Tokyo on Friday, the reports said.
Japan and six other industrialised countries also have instructed their respective cabinets to specify measures to stem the flow of funds to violent extremists and enhance aviation security.
Standing next to Bush, Koizumi said: "We Japanese stand by the United States to fight terrorists."
Bush says the developments show that the coalition of freedom-loving people is strong.
Earlier in the day, the Japanese leader had met US Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and been given a private tour of the damaged Pentagon.

STORYLINE:
Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger met with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Friday as part of his four-day California trade and tourism promotion visit to Tokyo.
The actor-turned-politician has been to Tokyo before to promote everything from the Special Olympics to bodybuilding, not to mention his more lucrative product endorsements.
But this is his first visit as a politician.
On Thursday Schwarzenegger appeared at the "Taste of California" food fair, which featured a cooking performance by three U.S. Chefs using California products.
On his visit he is accompanied by a 57-member delegation of farmers and business executives.
Schwarzenegger is scheduled to meet with representatives of the auto and electronics industries throughout the visit, which ends on Saturday.
The governor made a quiet trip to Toyota Motor Corporation's Tokyo office on Thursday and talked with President Fujio Cho, but Toyota spokesman Hitoshi Nagashima refused to give details of the talks. The trip was closed to reporters.
Japanese media have reported that Schwarzenegger is interested in having Toyota produce its popular hybrid vehicles at a car plant in California.
Toyota, Japan's number one automaker, already has a manufacturing plant in the state that it runs with U.S. automaker General Motors Corporation.
Japan is California's top investor, and its second most important trading partner after Mexico.
But many Japanese businesses believe that California is too expensive for their operations because of the state's high taxes and worker salaries.
As a film star, Austria-born Schwarzenegger visited Japan several times to promote his movies and star in television commercials for beer, noodles, energy drinks and other products.
He sparked a political scandal in 1998, when he arrived in Japan without a passport but was allowed to enter by then-justice minister, Shozaburo Nakamura, an avowed Schwarzenegger fan.
Schwarzenegger applied for permission to enter without the passport, and Nakamura resigned after it became known that he pocketed the application to keep as a souvenir.

STORYLINE:
South Korea's foreign minister met Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Friday, for a meeting that was expected to be overshadowed by Koizmumi's visit to a controversial war shrine.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Ban Ki-moon said he told Koizumi his recent visit to the Yasukuni shrine was undesirable and had probably scuppered a planned summit between Koizumi and South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.
With Ban's visit, the Japanese government was searching for a solution to smooth the waters between Tokyo and Seoul and to prepare the way for summit between Roh and Koizumi, which was originally hoped for in December, Foreign Ministry officials said.
Ban is the first high-level official to visit Japan following Koizumi's latest shrine visit, which has further strained the two countries' already shakey relationship.
Referring to domestic opposition to his visit to Japan, Ban said he had come to Tokyo to ensure the success of the APEC summit and to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue.
On Thursday, Koizumi said he wanted South Korea to understand why he visited the shrine, which includes the names of convicted World War II war criminals among the 2.5 (m) million war dead.
South Korea and other Asian nations say Koizumi's visits to the shrine symbolise Japan's lack of atonement for its militaristic past.
Roh and Koizumi agreed last year to meet twice a year. They have since met three times, and soon it is Roh's turn to visit Japan.
But since Koizumi's Yasukuni visit, Roh's office has said a summit before the end of this year would be difficult "unless there is a significant change in the situation."
On the Yasukuni issue, Ban had proposed on Thursday that Tokyo build an alternative, secular national memorial that also honours civilians and non-Japanese war dead.
As well as Yasukuni, the two countries disagree over Japan's renewed claims to a set of disputed islets, and its approval of school textbooks that other Asian countries say gloss over the country's colonial history.
Japan ruled the Korean peninsula from 1910-1945 and many South Koreans remain deeply resentful of their former occupier.

STORYLINE:
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi will meet Indian leaders on Friday to seek support for Japan's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and boost trade and ties between the two countries.
Koizumi arrived in New Delhi on Thursday night.
On Friday, he visited the memorial for Mohandas K. Gandhi - better known as 'Mahatma', or 'great soul' - the father of India's freedom movement.
Koizumi was later due to hold talks with India's president, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and prime minister Manmohan Singh and meet business leaders.
Both India and Japan are contenders for a permanent seat in an expanded UN Security Council, and the talks between Koizumi and Singh will aim for forming a consensus on reforming the global body.
The two countries are expected to sign a joint statement stressing how India and Japan can work together toward stability and prosperity in Asia.
On Saturday, Koizumi will fly to Islamabad for talks with Pakistani president General Pervez Musharraf and prime minister Shaukat Aziz, with the main agenda focused on the issue of the resumption of Japanese loans to Pakistan.

"I am very regretful that my intention of going to Yasukuni Shrine is regarded as an appraisal of the war and a revival of militarilism ideas. I am trying to go there so we never have a war again - as we reflect on history."
STORYLINE:
Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Monday said he would make a "mature decision" about whether to visit a shrine honouring his country's war dead, despite the objections of Japan's neighbours.
Yasukuni Shrine includes convicted war criminals among the souls honoured there.
Speaking in Tokyo following his ruling coalition's victory in the upper house elections, Koizumi said he still intended to travel to the shrine.
The prime minister said he'd be listening to the opinions of officials in his own party and those of his coalition partners before making a "mature decision".
The visit, planned for the anniversary of Japan's World War Two surrender on August 15, has infuriated some of Japan's Asian neighbours.
China and South Korea are particularly angry.
They bore the brunt of Tokyo's bloody advance through the region in the first half of the 20th century.

3. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Junichiro Koizumi, Japanese Prime Minister:
"The US has been stating that they will not give into North Korean blackmail, Japan likewise. North Korea has been making statements that sound like blackmail. They engaged in provocative behaviour such as their statements that they will proceed with nuclear development programme and so on. I believe it is important for us to approach them, work with them on it to make them understand that such behaviour is meaningless."
4. Wide shot of photo-op
5. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Junichiro Koizumi, Japanese Prime Minister:
"As far as Japan is concerned, there are issues such as abduction and missile development by North Koreans, not just a nuclear development. We believe that it is only after all these issues are dealt with and resolved comprehensively, following consultations to resolve these problems. Only then, shall we be able to normalise with these issues. Only when there normalisation, can there be economic co-operation with them."
6. Wide pan Koizumi
7. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Junichiro Koizumi, Japanese Prime Minister:
"And with the current state of the economy, the Japanese yen should be weaker. If many foreign countries point their finger, saying that Japanese economy is performing very poorly. Then, the Japanese yen should not be as strong as it is now. Yet, it is stronger you can see. It is against that backdrop that we are making our structural reform."
8. Mid shot of interpreter
9. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Junichiro Koizumi, Japanese Prime Minister:
"With that said, nominal growth rate was in the negative. (Pause) But, still it is not as serious as what you might call a deflationary spiral. The negative nominal growth rate was around negative 0.6 or 0.7 percent. In co-operation with the Bank of Japan, she shall like strive to push it out into positive range."
10. Koizumi walking out
STORYLINE:
Vowing not to be cowed by North Korea's "provocative words," Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said
on Thursday it is important to send a strong message to Pyongyang that it cannot blackmail the international community with threats of building a nuclear arsenal.
He stopped short of advocating economic sanctions against the communist nation, however, and said that while Japan should study stronger missile defences, Tokyo must remain committed to its longstanding policy of using the military strictly for self-defence.
"They have made statements that are like blackmail," he said during a press facility with APTN and a small group of reporters, "It is important for us to approach them, to work on them, to make them understand that such a position is meaningless."
Although Koizumi said Tokyo still wants to resolve the North Korean issue peacefully, he added that he believes there was a need to increase research into missiles.
Japan launched its first spy satellites in March in large part to monitor North Korea's missile development, North Korea in turn shocked the Japanese by firing a ballistic missile over its main island in 1998.
Koizumi, who is up for re-election when his tenure as president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party expires on September 30, has also struggled with how to turn Japan's ailing economy around.
He stressed that Japan remains an economic superpower, but his handling of the economy has been widely panned.

STORYLINE:
President George W. Bush on Tuesday hailed the latest signs that other nations were joining the coalition against terror.
He spoke to reporters as he posed with Japan's prime minister for pictures outside the Oval Office.
Speaking to the gathered media, Bush pointed to Saudi Arabia's decision to cut ties with the Afghan government -- and Russia's promise to bolster the Afghan opposition.
Despite his nation's pacifist constitution, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi promised to provide logistical and medical help to US forces.
Two Japanese newspapers have reported Japan will send warships to the Indian Ocean as early as this week to carry out intelligence and surveillance missions.
The squadron may accompany the USS Kitty Hawk, an aircraft carrier that left its base near Tokyo on Friday, the reports said.
Japan and six other industrialised countries also have instructed their respective cabinets to specify measures to stem the flow of funds to violent extremists and enhance aviation security.
Standing next to Bush, Koizumi said: "We Japanese stand by the United States to fight terrorists."
Bush says the developments show that the coalition of freedom-loving people is strong.
Earlier in the day, the Japanese leader had met US Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and been given a private tour of the damaged Pentagon.

Japan's environment minister Shinjiro Koizumi is raising eyebrows by taking time off to take care of his newborn son.
It's not only because he is the first minister and MP to do so, but also because very few dads in Japan actually take paternity leave. The BBC's Mariko Oi explains why.

STORYLINE:
Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger met with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Friday as part of his four-day California trade and tourism promotion visit to Tokyo.
The actor-turned-politician has been to Tokyo before to promote everything from the Special Olympics to bodybuilding, not to mention his more lucrative product endorsements.
But this is his first visit as a politician.
On Thursday Schwarzenegger appeared at the "Taste of California" food fair, which featured a cooking performance by three U.S. Chefs using California products.
On his visit he is accompanied by a 57-member delegation of farmers and business executives.
Schwarzenegger is scheduled to meet with representatives of the auto and electronics industries throughout the visit, which ends on Saturday.
The governor made a quiet trip to Toyota Motor Corporation's Tokyo office on Thursday and talked with President Fujio Cho, but Toyota spokesman Hitoshi Nagashima refused to give details of the talks. The trip was closed to reporters.
Japanese media have reported that Schwarzenegger is interested in having Toyota produce its popular hybrid vehicles at a car plant in California.
Toyota, Japan's number one automaker, already has a manufacturing plant in the state that it runs with U.S. automaker General Motors Corporation.
Japan is California's top investor, and its second most important trading partner after Mexico.
But many Japanese businesses believe that California is too expensive for their operations because of the state's high taxes and worker salaries.
As a film star, Austria-born Schwarzenegger visited Japan several times to promote his movies and star in television commercials for beer, noodles, energy drinks and other products.
He sparked a political scandal in 1998, when he arrived in Japan without a passport but was allowed to enter by then-justice minister, Shozaburo Nakamura, an avowed Schwarzenegger fan.
Schwarzenegger applied for permission to enter without the passport, and Nakamura resigned after it became known that he pocketed the application to keep as a souvenir.

STORYLINE:
South Korea's foreign minister met Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Friday, for a meeting that was expected to be overshadowed by Koizmumi's visit to a controversial war shrine.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Ban Ki-moon said he told Koizumi his recent visit to the Yasukuni shrine was undesirable and had probably scuppered a planned summit between Koizumi and South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.
With Ban's visit, the Japanese government was searching for a solution to smooth the waters between Tokyo and Seoul and to prepare the way for summit between Roh and Koizumi, which was originally hoped for in December, Foreign Ministry officials said.
Ban is the first high-level official to visit Japan following Koizumi's latest shrine visit, which has further strained the two countries' already shakey relationship.
Referring to domestic opposition to his visit to Japan, Ban said he had come to Tokyo to ensure the success of the APEC summit and to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue.
On Thursday, Koizumi said he wanted South Korea to understand why he visited the shrine, which includes the names of convicted World War II war criminals among the 2.5 (m) million war dead.
South Korea and other Asian nations say Koizumi's visits to the shrine symbolise Japan's lack of atonement for its militaristic past.
Roh and Koizumi agreed last year to meet twice a year. They have since met three times, and soon it is Roh's turn to visit Japan.
But since Koizumi's Yasukuni visit, Roh's office has said a summit before the end of this year would be difficult "unless there is a significant change in the situation."
On the Yasukuni issue, Ban had proposed on Thursday that Tokyo build an alternative, secular national memorial that also honours civilians and non-Japanese war dead.
As well as Yasukuni, the two countries disagree over Japan's renewed claims to a set of disputed islets, and its approval of school textbooks that other Asian countries say gloss over the country's colonial history.
Japan ruled the Korean peninsula from 1910-1945 and many South Koreans remain deeply resentful of their former occupier.

STORYLINE:
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi will meet Indian leaders on Friday to seek support for Japan's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and boost trade and ties between the two countries.
Koizumi arrived in New Delhi on Thursday night.
On Friday, he visited the memorial for Mohandas K. Gandhi - better known as 'Mahatma', or 'great soul' - the father of India's freedom movement.
Koizumi was later due to hold talks with India's president, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and prime minister Manmohan Singh and meet business leaders.
Both India and Japan are contenders for a permanent seat in an expanded UN Security Council, and the talks between Koizumi and Singh will aim for forming a consensus on reforming the global body.
The two countries are expected to sign a joint statement stressing how India and Japan can work together toward stability and prosperity in Asia.
On Saturday, Koizumi will fly to Islamabad for talks with Pakistani president General Pervez Musharraf and prime minister Shaukat Aziz, with the main agenda focused on the issue of the resumption of Japanese loans to Pakistan.

"I am very regretful that my intention of going to Yasukuni Shrine is regarded as an appraisal of the war and a revival of militarilism ideas. I am trying to go there so we never have a war again - as we reflect on history."
STORYLINE:
Japan's Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi on Monday said he would make a "mature decision" about whether to visit a shrine honouring his country's war dead, despite the objections of Japan's neighbours.
Yasukuni Shrine includes convicted war criminals among the souls honoured there.
Speaking in Tokyo following his ruling coalition's victory in the upper house elections, Koizumi said he still intended to travel to the shrine.
The prime minister said he'd be listening to the opinions of officials in his own party and those of his coalition partners before making a "mature decision".
The visit, planned for the anniversary of Japan's World War Two surrender on August 15, has infuriated some of Japan's Asian neighbours.
China and South Korea are particularly angry.
They bore the brunt of Tokyo's bloody advance through the region in the first half of the 20th century.

Junichirō Koizumi
Junichiro Koizumi (小泉 純一郎, Koizumi Jun'ichirō), born January 8, 1942, is a Japanese politician who was the 87th Prime Minister of Japan from 2001 to 2006. He retired from politics when his term in parliament ended in 2009, and was the fifth-longest serving prime minister in the history of Japan.
Widely seen as a maverick leader of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), he became known as an economic reformer, focusing on Japan's government debt and the privatization of its postal service. In 2005, Koizumi led the LDP to win one of the largest parliamentary majorities in modern Japanese history. Affiliated to the openly revisionist lobby Nippon Kaigi, which advocates among other things the return to militarism, the denial of Japanese war crimes, and visits to Yasukuni Shrine, Koizumi also attracted international attention through his deployment of the Japan Self-Defense Forces to Iraq, and through his visits to the controversial shrine that fueled diplomatic tensions with neighboring China and South Korea.
