Yukiko Miyake ( Japanese 三 宅 雪 子 , Miyake Yukiko ; born March 5, 1965 in Washington, DC ; † January 2, 2020 at Tokyo Bay ) was a Japanese politician and member of the Shūgiin , the lower house, for the proportional electoral bloc North Kantō .

Life

Miyake, the daughter of a Japanese diplomat and granddaughter of the Chief Cabinet Secretary, Minister of Labor and Transport, Hirohide Ishida , studied at Tamagawa Gakuen Women's Short University and Kyōritsu Women's University . In the Shūgiin election in 2009 she ran for the Democratic Party as one of the so-called Ozawa Girls , supporters of the former party leader Ichirō Ozawa , in the 4th constituency of Gunma against the former Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda . Gunma is traditionally considered a "conservative kingdom" ( hoshu ōkoku ), that is, as the stronghold of the Liberal Democratic Party . Miyake lost the constituency by around 12,000 votes, but entered parliament through the proportional representation bloc.

In July 2012, Miyake Ozawa's new party, Kokumin no Seikatsu ga Daiichi, joined the Nippon Mirai no Tō in November . In the Shūgiin election in 2012 , she ran for the latter in the constituency of Chiba 4 of the party leader of the Democrats, Yoshihiko Noda . She received less than ten percent of the vote and was therefore disqualified for re-election in the proportional representation block.

In the 2013 election , Miyake tried to move to Sangiin , the upper house of the national parliament. She ran for the successor party Seikatsu no Tō in the national proportional representation, where she reached the second Seikatsu list place with 38,766 votes, but the party remained overall without proportional representation.

She was found dead on January 2, 2020 on Tokyo Bay , a suicide is suspected.
