PREVIOUS POLITICAL POSITIONS of KOBAYASHI YUTAKA

With his promotion to Parliamentary Secretary of Economy, Trade and Industry in Prime Minister Koizumi's Third Cabinet, Councillor Kobayashi has “retired” (in some ways) from his previous committee memberships and intra-party responsibilities. However, Councillor Kobayashi remains very interested and engaged in the issues those memberships and responsibilities represented. We include them here as a reference tool for academics, researchers, students of Japanese politics, and journalists who may like to know the Councillor's areas of expertise.
