Yasuhiko Funago (舩後靖彦, Funago Yasuhiko, born 4 October 1957) is a Japanese politician and current member of the House of Councillors. He and fellow councillor Eiko Kimura became the first people with severe disabilities elected to Japan's National Diet in 2019.[1][2][3] He is a member of the Reiwa Shinsengumi.[2]
ALS has caused him to lose much of his mobility, requiring a full-time caregiver.[4]
Funago was born in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture. He moved to Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture when he was 10 years old and attended Chiba Minami Prefectural High School. After graduating high school, he studied under the Faculty of Political Science and Economics at Takushoku University.
