Life

Onodera graduated from the Oceanographic Faculty of the Tokyo Oceanographic University and became a prefectural officer in Miyagi in 1983. In 1990 he left the prefecture administration and did research at Matsushita Seikei Juku , at the same time he studied at the Graduate School of Tokyo University , which he graduated in 1993. From 1994 he taught at the Tōhoku Fukushi Daigaku .

Onodera began his active political career in 1997 when Fukujirō Kikuchi , LDP MP for the 6th constituency, resigned for violating the electoral law. In the resulting by-election Onodera ran for the LDP and prevailed against the independent Masamitsu Ōishi . In 2000 Onodera had to resign because of a violation of the electoral law and accept restrictions on his right to vote for three years; in the renewed by-election, Ōishi was his successor. Onodera then researched for two years at the Johns Hopkins University and was on the board of the supporting foundation of a technical school ( senmon gakkō ) in Kesennuma.

In the regular Shūgiin election in 2003 , Onodera ran again in the constituency of Miyagi 6 and won clearly against Ōishi, now a democrat . He was then able to defend the constituency in four further elections in a row.

In 2004 Onodera became Parliamentary State Secretary ( Daijinseimukan ) in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs , in 2007 State Secretary / "Vice Minister" ( Fukudaijin ).
