Kazuyuki Hamada ( Japanese 浜 田 和 幸 , Hamada Kazuyuki ; born March 17, 1953 in Yonago , Tottori Prefecture ) is a Japanese politician. From 2010 to 2016 he was one of Tottori's two representatives in Sangiin , the upper house of parliament . Until 2011 he belonged to the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), from 2011 until its dissolution in 2013 to the New People's Party , after that he was a non-party member of the Shinto Kaikaku faction, from 2014 of the "Party of the Next Generation", in 2016 briefly the Ōsaka Ishin no Kai .

Hamada, a graduate of the Tokyo Foreign Language University , became an employee of Shin-Nippon Seitetsu ( Nippon Steel ) after graduating . He later earned a Ph.D. at George Washington University and from 1987 researched at the Center for Strategic and International Studies . In 1997 he founded the Kokusai mirai kagaku kenkyūjo ( 国際 未来 科学 研究所 , "Institute for International Future Research").

In the 2010 Sangiin election , Hamada switched to politics and took over the LDP candidacy in Tottori, where incumbent Kōtarō Tamura had changed from the LDP to the Democratic Party in 2009 . Hamada received over 150,000 votes and won by more than 20,000 votes over the Democrat Mari Sakano.

In June 2011, Hamada resigned from the party after being offered the position of parliamentary state secretary in the democratically led Kan cabinet . On June 27, he took up the position in the "Ministry of General Affairs" . On July 5, 2011, the LDP ruled Hamada out. Hamada moved to the Foreign Ministry in September 2011 under the Noda cabinet . In December 2011 he joined the New People's Party, where in April 2012 he took over the chairmanship of the Political Research Council from the dismissed Akiko Kamei . In December 2012, Hamada succeeded General Secretary Mikio Shimoji , who had lost his seat in parliament (Shūgiin, Okinawa 1). He remained general secretary until the dissolution of the NVP.

In the summer of 2013 Hamada joined the Shinto Kaikaku - Mushozoku no Kai faction . In 2014 he joined the Jisedai → Kokoro party, which he left again in 2016. In the upcoming Sangiin election in 2016 , Tottori lost his independent representation and from now on forms a joint single-mandate constituency with the neighboring Shimane , both prefectures are rural-conservative strongholds, a re-election against the LDP candidate Kazuhiko Aoki (Shimane’s representative until 2016) was unlikely. especially since four opposition parties had agreed on a united front strategy. Hamada wanted to join Ishin no Kai for the Ōsaka election and move to the national proportional representation. In order to attend a meeting of Ishin MPs from the prefectural parliament of Osaka , the nucleus of the party, and to gain support within the party, he stayed away from a Sangiin meeting on May 27, 2016, at which, among other things, relief measures after the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016 was voted - according to the party without their consent. As a result, the party leadership withdrew its support and he resigned from the Ishin no Kai shortly before the election.

In the 2016 election, Hamada ran without a party in the six-mandate constituency of Tokyo , where he was rejected in 16th place with 0.5% of the vote.
