Japanese alien

Discreet man who comes from a political dynasty, a man who ended 50 years of conservative rule in Japan, will come to the office of prime minister of Japan 16th September. In a country where politics is a family business, Yuki Hatojama (62) is not an exception. He is heir to a rich and powerful dynasty which is the policy of blood and that the Japanese sometimes compared to the Kennedy family.

Until recently head of the opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), who triumphed in recent elections and won 300 of 480 seats in the lower house of Parliament, multimillionaire and a member of the fourth generation of family that rose to the top of the political life of Japan, faithful to his pedigree.

Hatojamin great grandfather Kazuo chaired the lower house of the 1896th until 1897, Ichiro was the grandfather of Prime Minister since 1952. to 1954, his father, Ichiro is on the place of Minister of Foreign Affairs, while the younger brother of Kuni June was a member of the outgoing cabinet of Prime Minister Taro hours.

With the business side, his grandfather on his mother, Šodžiro Išibaši, was the founder of the multinational "Bridžstoun.

Over the past ten years Hatojama built the main opposition force in Japan. Family tendency to politics "infected" is Jukija after studies at Tokyo and a doctorate at Stanford University in California.

Hatojama recognized to have different interests - he is passionate karaoke performer and amateur players bezbola. He likes classical music and, surprisingly, Yuki is rusofil.

His wife, former stage actor Mijuki Hashimoto, ardent supporters of the makrobiotika and author of books on the culinary. They met while he was at Stanford and married in 1975, after she divorced from the previous husband. They have a son who is Kiićira research associate at the Moscow Institute for Strategic Science.

It seems that Japanese prices Hatojamu for solid political attitude, loyalty to his determination against corruption, the absence of scandals (adultery but discovered that he admitted in 1996) and sense of humor.

Knowing that I have a nickname Ti. Because "loptastih" eyes, unkempt hair and eccentric behavior, once made a label that was presented as the famous alien.

Nickname alien, as claimed by his wife, earned is because it is so different from the old-fashioned Japanese politicians do not motivate him personal interests or greed.

Refusing to submit conventional, Yuki Hatojama and his beloved Mijuki, which claims that the aliens took on Venus and that the previous life knew Tom Cruise, will bring unusual freshness to the Japanese political scene.
