The Noda cabinet, which was reorganized for the first time ( Japanese 野 田 第 1 次 改造 内閣 , Noda daiichiji kaizō naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda from January 13, 2012 until the cabinet was reshuffled on June 4, 2012 . Noda replaced several ministers, including two ( Kenji Yamaoka and Yasuo Ichikawa ), against the opposition-dominated Sangiin for the session of the national parliament starting at the end of January , the budget deliberations for the fiscal year 2012 starting in April and for a law to increase VAT (Council House), the House of Lords, had passed non-binding motions of no confidence. He also appointed Katsuya Okada as Vice Prime Minister and entrusted him with several duties; above all, he was supposed to direct the reform of the tax system and social security, for which the government had to cooperate with the opposition majority in the Sangiin. Most of the ministers were taken over from the previous cabinet, which had only been in office since September 2011 . On February 10, when the new reconstruction agency was established, some ministerial posts were redistributed and Masaharu Nakagawa was reappointed to the cabinet.

As in 2010, the governing coalition continued to consist of the Democratic Party (DPJ) and the New People's Party (NVP); without formal involvement in the coalition, the new "Daichi - True Democratic Party" (until 2011: New Daichi Party ) and initially until April 2012 the New Japan Party cooperated in parliament .

In the negotiations on the VAT increase with the opposition, Noda agreed to reshuffle the cabinet in June 2012.
