Life

Hachiro is a graduate of Hokkaidō University's agricultural faculty . He then worked for the agricultural cooperative ( nōkyō ) in Imakane . In the Shūgiin election in 1990 he ran successfully as an independent in the 3rd constituency of Hokkaidō and then joined the Socialist Party of Japan (SPJ). He has been re-elected five times since then (from 1996 in the 8th constituency of Hokkaidō, since 2003 in the 4th constituency of Hokkaidō).

Before the 1996 election , Hachiro left the SPJ and helped found the DPJ for the first time. In 2003 he ran for governor in Hokkaidō, but lost with around 62,000 votes to the LDP / Kōmeitō candidate Harumi Takahashi .

On September 2, 2011, he was appointed Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry for the Noda cabinet . On the 9th, he visited the communities around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and referred to them as "death cities" ( 「死 の ま ち」 , "shi no machi"). The day before he had rubbed his disaster control suit on a reporter and grinned: “Look, radioactivity!” ( 「ほ ら 、 放射 能」 , “hora, hōshanō”). On the basis of these remarks, he announced his resignation on the 10th, and the chief cabinet secretary Osamu Fujimura took over from him on the 11th.

In 1996 and from 2001 to 2002, Hachiro chaired the Shūgiin Agriculture Committee, in 2010 the Labor and Social Committee, and in 2012 the Justice Committee. In the Shūgiin election in 2012 he lost his constituency to the Liberal Democrat Hiroyuki Nakamura . With a sekihairitsu ("loss rate") of 66.8%, he reached sixth place on the DPJ proportional representation list Hokkaidō and thus also missed a re-election in the bloc - the DPJ won only two proportional representation in Hokkaidō.

For the 2016 Sangiin election , Hachiro tried to move to the second chamber for the Democratic Progressive Party (DFP) founded a few months earlier . The constituency of Hokkaidō was enlarged from two to three seats in 2016, and Hachiro was able to take the third seat behind incumbents Gaku Hasegawa (25.5%, LDP) and Eri Tokunaga (22.0%, Minshintō) with 19.3% of the vote just ahead of Katsuhiro Kakiki (19.0%, LDP). When his party merged with the Party of Hope to form the People's Democratic Party in May 2018 , Hachiro left the DFP and joined the constitutional democratic party founded by Yukio Edano in October 2017 .
