From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taizō Sugimura (杉村太蔵, Sugimura Taizō
?, b. August 13, 1979) is a Japanese
politician and a member of the Diet of Japan, representing the Liberal Democratic
Party.
Sugimura was born in Asahikawa, Hokkaidō. He attended the University of Tsukuba but dropped
out in 2004.
Sugimura became the youngest member of the House of
Representatives after the September 11, 2005 general
election. He was not expected to win a seat, as he had been
placed in 35th position on the LDP's proportional representation
ticket for the Minami-Kanto bloc.
He first came to media attention for his excitement at the
prospect of the range of perks available for elected politicians,
including high class restaurants, first-class travel on the Shinkansen and being able
to afford a BMW. Sugimura was
reprimanded by LDP executives for his comments, and publicly
apologised at a news conference on September 27, 2005
saying they had been "immature and irresponsible."
Sugimura announced his engagement with Aya Kazama (風間文
?) on March 14, 2006 and their daughter
was born on April 4, 2007.
