is a Japanese politician and lawyer. He is the mayor of Osaka city and a member of the Japan Innovation Party. == Early life == Tōru Hashishita was born in Hatagaya, Shibuya, Tokyo, on 29 June 1969. His father, who was a yakuza, died when he was in the second grade of elementary school. Soon after, his mother changed the reading of their name to ''Hashimoto'',〔G2, 2010年12月、森功「同和と橋下徹」pp. 32～33〕 as the surname Hashishita is linked to Japan's disadvantaged ''burakumin'' community.〔''(Japan Times )''〕 Hashimoto and his mother and sister moved to Suita, Osaka when he was in the fifth grade,〔Nikkan Sports (橋下氏泣き落とし？初街頭でオカン話 ) 11 January 2008]〕 and then to Higashiyodogawa-ku, Osaka the next year. As a student at Osaka Prefectural Kitano High School, Hashimoto played in the National High School Rugby Tournament as a member of the school rugby team, which was one of three champions from the Osaka prefectural tournament. He failed the entrance exams for Waseda University twice but was admitted after an additional year of study. He graduated from Waseda in the spring of 1994 and passed the bar examination later that year, becoming a lawyer in 1996. In 1998, he established the Hashimoto Law Office, where he built up a practice in corporate law, entertainment law and dispute resolution. Hashimoto remains an equity partner in the firm, but converted it to a professional corporation in 2008 and currently does not take an active role in its management. He also became the legal advisor for the restaurant association of Tobita Shinchi for a period of time.〔2014-10-20, (橋下徹氏と在特会会長の意見交換 罵り合ってすぐ終了 ), アメーバニュース〕〔2011-11-25, (橋下徹氏 大阪の旧遊郭街・飛田新地組合の顧問弁護士だった ), NEWSポストセブン〕 During his early years of law practice, he began to appear on local radio and television programs in the Kansai area. He made several appearances on TV Asahi's ''Super Morning'' program, after which American TV personality Dave Spector, who also regularly appeared on the show, sent tapes of Hashimoto's appearances to TV producers at other networks. Hashimoto's most high-profile TV role came in April 2003 when he started participating in the popular prime-time program , hosted by comedian Shinsuke Shimada, as part of the regular panel of four lawyers. He appeared on the show until December 2007. Hashimoto also guested on Nippon TV's ''Hikari Ota's If I Were Prime Minister... Secretary Tanaka'', where he "proposed" homeowners should open their curtains every afternoon. He admitted in 2012 to having an extramarital affair with a club hostess between 2006 and 2008, while still a television personality, saying that "I wasn't a saint before I became governor."〔''The Japan Times'' (Hashimoto admits affair, doesn't deny 'cosplay' 20 July 2012 ) Retrieved 18 August 2012〕 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「Tōru Hashimoto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
