Tetsumi Takara (高良鉄美, born January 15, 1954) is a Japanese politician currently serving as a member of the National Diet in the House of Councillors.[1] He was elected on July 27, 2019, representing the Okinawa at-large district which encompasses the entirety of Okinawa Prefecture.
Political career[edit]
Takara has expressed his disapproval towards the relocation of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma,[2][3] saying “ I feel the weight of duty. I will bring attention to the issue of Henoko not being Okinawa’s problem, but a problem facing the whole of Japan“.[2]
In the House of Councillors, he and fellow Okinawa representative Yōichi Iha form the Okinawa Whirlwind (沖縄の風) faction.
