The Hatoyama cabinet ruled Japan from the election of Yukio Hatoyama as prime minister on September 16, 2009 until June 8, 2010, from his resignation on June 4, 2010 as executive director.

In the decisive vote in the Shūgiin , the lower house, Hatoyama received 327 votes, in the Sangiin , the upper house, 124 votes. Hatoyama's Democratic Party ( Minshutō , DPJ) had previously won the Shūgiin election in 2009 on August 30, 2009 in a landslide victory.

The cabinet was presented on September 16 in the Kantei , followed by the formal appointment by the Tennō . The coalition cabinet made up of the Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party (SDP) and New People's Party consisted of 14 ministers of state from the Shūgiin and four from the Sangiin, including the Prime Minister. The SDP left the coalition at the end of May 2010. Shortly afterwards, Yukio Hatoyama announced his resignation. On June 4, 2010, the Hatoyama cabinet resigned before the election of a successor as prime minister. The resignation was only effective with the formal appointment of the subsequent Kan cabinet by the Tennō.

LDP politicians gave the cabinet the nickname “Cabinet Ohato” ( 小 鳩 内閣 , Ohato naikaku ) because of the great influence of former DPJ chairman Ichirō Ozawa . The name picks up on a similar name for the first Nakasone cabinet , which was named "Tanakasone Cabinet" after the influential ex-Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka .
