Osamu Fujimura
Osamu Fujimura ( Japanese 藤 村 修 , Fujimura Osamu ; born November 3, 1949 in Osaka ) is a former Japanese politician of the Democratic Party ( Noda group ). Until 2012 he was head of the cabinet secretariat in the Noda cabinet and a member of the Shūgiin , the lower house of the national parliament , for the 7th constituency of Osaka prefecture .
Fujimura, a graduate of the engineering faculty of the University of Hiroshima , worked after graduating for the foundation kōtsūiji ikueikai ( 交通 遺 児 育 英Er , "Educational Society for Traffic Orphans "), later also for the ashinaga ikueikei , another foundation that campaigns for orphans. In the 1993 Shūgiin election , he switched to politics when he ran for the New Japan Party in the then five-mandate Osaka 3 constituency and was elected with the highest percentage of votes. In the party reshuffles of the 1990s, he was initially a member of the New Progressive Party , for which he was re-elected in 1996 in the new constituency of Osaka 7, then from 1997 he was a member of the Kokumin no Koe ("voice of the people"), the Minseitō and finally the Democratic Political party.
In the 2005 Shūgiin election , Noda lost his constituency to Naomi Tokashiki ( LDP ) and was only re-elected through the Kinki proportional representation. In the Democratic Party, he was a member of the shadow cabinet and deputy general secretary ( kanjichō-dairi ) in 2006 and 2009 . In the Democratic Landslide Victory in 2009 he was able to win back his constituency and then became chairman of the Shūgiin Committee on Health, Labor and Social Affairs. In 2010 he was State Secretary ( fuku-daijin ) in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Kan cabinet , then in the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Affairs until 2011 , before Naoto Kan's successor Yoshihiko Noda appointed him to his cabinet as Chief Cabinet Secretary in September 2011.
In the Shūgiin election in 2012 , Fujimura received only around 45,500 constituency votes (21.5%) and ended up only in third place behind Naomi Tokashiki and the Ishin candidate Sayuri Uenishi. He also missed a proportional representation mandate and was elected from parliament like seven other incumbent ministers in the Noda cabinet.
