Ryōtarō Tanose

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ryōtarō Tanose ( Japanese 田野 瀬 良 太郎 , Tanose Ryōtarō ; born October 31, 1943 in Gojō , Nara Prefecture ) is a former Japanese politician. Until 2012 he represented the 4th constituency of Nara for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in the Shūgiin , the lower house of the national parliament . Within the party, he had belonged to the Yamasaki faction .

Tanose, a graduate of Nagoya University of Technology , began his political career at the age of 30 when he was elected to Gojō City Council for the first of two terms in 1973. Then he opened the Takayoshi day care center ( Takayoshi hoikuen ) in Gojō. As an LDP candidate, he was elected to the prefectural parliament in 1983 and confirmed in 1987. In 1986 Tanose founded the Nishi-Yamato-Gakuen High School, whose sponsoring foundation is now run by his son.

The change to national politics succeeded Tanose in the second attempt at the Shūgiin election in 1993 : In the five-mandate constituency of Nara, he was one of two LDP candidates next to ex-Justice Minister Seisuke Okuno and received just under the fifth highest percentage of votes. Since the electoral reform of 1994, he has been running in the single constituency Nara 4, which he just lost in 1996 (re-election via the newly introduced proportional representation), then won four times in a row from 2000 .

In the Shūgiin, Tanose was a member of the transport and culture committees and, in 2001, the special committee for the relocation of parliament . In the second Koizumi cabinet he was State Secretary ("Vice Minister") in the Ministry of Finance under Sadakazu Tanigaki from 2004 to 2005 .

After the LDP defeat in the Shūgiin election in 2009 , the new party chairman Sadakazu Tanigaki, whose election Tanose had supported, appointed him as chairman of the executive council ( sōmukai ) in the inner circle of the party leadership . In 2010 he was replaced by Yuriko Koike .

In the Shūgiin election in 2012 , he no longer stood as a candidate, his son Taidō took over his constituency for the LDP .
