About political career

Abaut me

Since I had been dismissed for pregnancy and childbirth, which was common in those days in Japan, I have developed an interest in politics to solve unfairness of social customs in gender.
After launching a venture entity as entrepreneur, I established a social citizen group "Edogawa Work-Mom" in 1999, which supports working persons as tax payers who have their children.
As I did not have any support from particular existing entities or organizations, my election campaign has been supported by "Edogawa Work-Mom", local volunteer groups as well as independent voters who are disappointed by existing political party. Since I had been elected as a member of assembly, I have had a belief that decentralization should be proceeded.
In terms of this belief, local politics should be different from that of national so that I founded local political party "Freedom Empowerment Association" in 2014 to achieve my goal which won 4 seats for last election at Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly in 2015.
