Akira Uchiyama ( Japanese 内 山 ​​晃 , Uchiyama Akira ; born March 3, 1954 in Kashiwa , Chiba Prefecture ) is a Japanese politician. From 2003 to 2012 he was a member of the House of Representatives , the lower house of the national parliament , initially for the Democratic Party . From 2011 he was chairman of the split-off Shinto Kizuna , which went up in 2012 in the Nippon Mirai no Tō .

In 1987 he took over the management of the labor law firm Uchiyama rōmu kanri jimusho . In 1995 he founded the pension consultancy Nenkin Life ( 年金 ラ イ フ ), which he still runs today.

Uchiyama got into politics in the 2000 general election when he ran for the Democratic Party in the 7th constituency of Chiba , but was defeated by incumbent Kazuna Matsumoto ( LDP ). In the second attempt in 2003 he was able to beat Matsumoto and has since been re-elected twice - in 2005 only through the proportional electoral bloc South Kantō, in 2009 again in his constituency. In 2006 Kazumi Ōta took over his constituency candidacy in a by-election and won, but in 2007 Ichirō Ozawa Uchiyama had reinstated for the 2009 election . In the Shūgiin he was a member of the Audit and Administrative Oversight Committee and the Special Committee on the Kidnapping Issue . After the Democrats came into power in 2009, he was Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Parliamentary Affairs on the Party Executive Committee, and from 2010 to 2011 he was Parliamentary State Secretary ( seimujikan ) in the Ministry of General Affairs during the Kan cabinet .

In December 2011, Uchiyama left the Democratic Party together with eight other MPs, who oppose the early VAT increase planned by party chairman Yoshihiko Noda , and became chairman of the new Shinto Kizuna .

In the 2012 election , Uchiyama lost the 7th constituency of Chiba with only 10.6% of the votes as fourth to Ken Saitō (LDP) and with this constituency result also missed re-election in the proportional representation block.

In the 2013 election to the Rätehaus, the upper house of the national parliament, he ran for the New Daichi party in the national proportional representation. Uchiyama came third on the Daichi list with 6,828 votes nationwide; but the party missed a proportional representation seat anyway with 1.0% of the proportional representation votes.
