Kazuhiko Aoki
Kazuhiko Aoki ( Japanese 青木 一 彦 , Aoki Kazuhiko ; born March 25, 1961 in Taisha , Hikawa County (now: Izumo ), Shimane Prefecture ) is a Japanese politician. For the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), he has been a member of the Sangiin , the upper house of the national parliament, since 2010 . Since 2016 he has been the first representative of the newly created combined prefectural constituency Tottori -Shimane.
Aoki, the son of MP Mikio Aoki , studied at the pedagogical faculty of Waseda University and, after several years as an employee in the private sector, worked from 1999 as secretary to his father's cabinet secretary . From 2000 he was the first secretary in his father's parliamentary office. When he withdrew for health reasons at short notice before the Sangiin election in 2010 , Aoki followed him as an LDP candidate in Shimane.
In the election, Aoki was able to beat his Democratic opponent Hirotaka Iwata (around 151 thousand) and two other applicants from Minna no Tō and KPJ with around 222 thousand votes and is thus elected as a member of parliament for six years. In the Sangiin he is a member of the agricultural and accounting committees.
In the 2016 election , Shimane lost its independent representation in the Sangiin. In the new combined single-mandate constituency of Tottori-Shimane, Aoki clearly prevailed against Hirohiko Fukushima (34.7%), the opposition's unity candidate, with almost 63% of the vote .
