About Takashi Kawamura
Takashi Kawamura (河村 たかし, Kawamura Takashi; born 3 November 1948) is a Japanese politician who has served as a member of the House of Representatives representing Aichi 1st since October 2024, a position he had previously held from 1993 to 2009. Prior to this, he served as the 35th mayor of Nagoya from 2009 to 2024. Kawamura was the Deputy Leader of the far-right Conservative Party of Japan, until a falling out with the leader, Naoki Hyakuta. He is also the founder and leader of the Nagoya-based regional party Genzei Nippon. Kawamura's antics have earned him a peculiar reputation outside of Nagoya, but local voters see him as an exponent of Nagoya's unique culture who constantly speaks in strong dialect (Nagoya-ben). As of 2021, he has been elected for 4 terms as mayor, and there are 12 members of his Genzei Nippon party on the Nagoya City Council.
