was a Japanese politician and the 74th Prime Minister of Japan from 6 November 1987 to 3 June 1989.〔French, Howard W. ( "Noboru Takeshita, Premier Who Guided Political Power in Japan, Is Dead at 76," ) ''New York Times.'' 19 June 2000.〕 Takeshita led the largest faction in the Liberal Democratic Party, which he inherited from Kakuei Tanaka, from the 1980s until his death in 2000. He was dubbed the "last shadow shogun" for his behind-the-scenes influence in Japanese politics. He was the last prime minister to serve during the long rule of Emperor Hirohito.〔Sanger, David E. ( "Takeshita Now Admits World War II Aggression," ) ''New York Times.'' 7 March 1989.〕 ==Early life and education== Takeshita was born in present-day Unnan, Shimane on 26 February 1924 and attended Waseda University.〔( "Noboru Takeshita" ) ''The Telegraph'' (London). 20 June 2000.〕 He married prior to World War II, when he joined the Imperial Japanese Army to serve as an instructor.〔 His wife committed suicide while he was away for the war, which author Jacob Schlesinger argued made Takeshita obsessive about his composure and highly reserved about showing anger to others. After the war, he remarried, worked as an English teacher and managed a high school judo team before entering politics in 1951.〔〔 As a young judo competitor, he was known as "master of the draw" for his ability to avoid defeating weaker opponents and to avert defeat by stronger opponents.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Noboru Takeshita」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
