In 1963 he began his political career as a candidate for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) with the first election to the House of Commons (Shūgiin) . As such, he was re-elected nine times and until 1996 represented the five-mandate 3rd constituency Niigata , the constituency of Tanaka Kakuei . Within the LDP he belonged to the Kōchikai faction (Ikeda faction).

In 1971 he was for some time Parliamentary State Secretary ( seimujikan ; English Parliamentary Vice Minister ) for Justice under Prime Minister Satō Eisaku .
