Zembē Mizoguchi ( Japanese 溝口 善 兵衛 , Mizoguchi Zembē ; born January 20, 1946 in Masuda , Shimane Prefecture ) is a Japanese politician and has been the governor of Shimane since 2007.

Mizoguchi, a graduate of the Economics Faculty of the University of Tokyo , became a civil servant in the Ministry of Finance after graduating in 1968 , where he headed the Ministerial Secretariat ( daijin-kambō ) in 1998 and the International Department ( kokusai-kyoku ) in 1999 . In 1985 he was temporarily posted to the World Bank . In 2003 he became zaimukan (formerly sanjikan , in the Ministry of Finance a position below the permanent state secretary ), in 2004 he took over the management of the Kokusai Kin'yū Jōhō Center ("Reporting Center for International Finance ", English Japan Center for International Finance ), one of the Ministry of Finance established foundation.

In 2007, Mizoguchi applied for the unified regional elections in April in his home prefecture of Shimane to succeed Governor Nobuyoshi Sumita . With formal support from the LDP and Kōmeitō , but against only one CPJ counter-candidate, he won the election with around 80 percent of the vote. In the 2011 election he was confirmed in office for a further four years with the same candidate constellation. Like his predecessor, he supports the Japanese claims to Takeshima / Dokdo - since 2006 the prefecture administration has celebrated a “Takeshima Day” every year to confirm this. In 2010 he approved the operation of the Shimane nuclear power plant in Matsue against the protests of individual groups of residents , which had been shut down for months due to safety deficiencies.
