Timeline
In 2017, Yoshimura threatened to cancel Osaka's sister city relationship with San Francisco due to plans from a pan-Asian coalition to incorporate a statue of a comfort woman in a San Francisco municipal park. In October 2018, he officially terminated Osaka's sister city relationship with San Francisco. He resigned from the post on March 21, 2019 to contest the Osaka Gubernatorial Election.
Hirofumi won the Osaka Gubernatorial Elections held in 2019. He was backed by Osaka Ishin. He defeated his opponent Tadakazu Konishi who was backed by the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito.
Yoshimura is a proponent of casino development in Osaka, and led a 2017 proposal to re-develop part of the Yumenoshima artificial island in Osaka Bay as a casino facility.
Yoshimura's tenure in the Diet was short. Following an unsuccessful referendum in May 2015 to restructure the Osaka government, Toru Hashimoto announced his resignation as mayor of Osaka. In October, Hashimoto announced that he would transform the Osaka Restoration Association into a national party with about a dozen Diet members who had broken away from the JIP. On the same day, Yoshimura resigned from the House to run in the November 2015 election to replace Hashimoto. Hashimoto reportedly hand-picked Yoshimura to serve as his successor.
Yoshimura was initially considered an underdog in the November 2015 "double election" for the governor of Osaka Prefecture and mayor of Osaka City. However, he won the election by a wide margin with former mayor Hashimoto's support. In the final tally, he won 596,045 votes versus 406,595 for runner-up Akira Yanagimoto, who was supported by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the LDP. Yoshimura took office on December 18, 2015.
Yoshimura was elected to the Japanese House of Representatives in the 2014 general election as a member of the Japan Innovation Party. He was a candidate in the Osaka 4th district and lost in a close race with LDP incumbent Yasuhide Nakayama, but picked up a seat through the JIP proportional representation list.
Yoshimura was elected to the Osaka city council in 2011 as a member of the Osaka Restoration Association headed by Osaka Prefecture governor Toru Hashimoto.
After working for several years under Tokyo-based attorney Shintaro Kumagai (熊谷 信太郎), Yoshimura returned to Osaka and co-founded the Star Law Office in 2005. He remains a partner in the firm as of 2017.
Yoshimura was born in the Osaka suburb of Kawachinagano. He studied law at Kyushu University, graduating in 1998. He passed the Japanese bar examination later that year and was admitted to practice as an attorney in 2000, at the age of 25.
Hirofumi Yoshimura (吉村 洋文 , Yoshimura Hirofumi, born 17 June 1975) is a Japanese politician currently serving as the Governor of Osaka. He assumed office in April 2019.
