Mayor Yūto Yoshida

Yūto Yoshida (吉田 雄人, Yoshida Yūto, born 3 December 1975) is a Japanese politician who serves as mayorofYokosuka, Kanagawa from 10 July 2009.

Early life[edit]

After graduating from Yokosuka High School in 1994 and Waseda University in 1999, Yoshida worked at Accenture for two years and then studied political science at graduate school.[1][2]

Political career[edit]

In 2003, Yoshida ran for Yokosuka's assembly election, in which he was the youngest candidate and won the most votes.[2][3][4] He was reelected in 2007, gaining more votes than any other candidate again.[3]

In the mayoral election held on 28 June 2009, Yoshida beat Ryōichi Kabaya, a former government official and the incumbent mayor backed by former Prime Minister Junichirō Koizumi and three major political parties.[1][3] His victory, making him the first mayor of Yokosuka who has no bureaucratic background since 1973,[5] is seen as a blow to the prospects for Shinjirō Koizumi, Junichirō Koizumi's second son, who plans to run for the coming national election.[3]
