RIP
Tag Prime Minister of Japan, along with Keizō Obuchi, Junichirō Koizumi, Tarō Asō, and Yasuo Fukuda.
Correction for Satō Shigeyo: Her given name should be Moyo, not Shigeyo, and was the duaghter of Satō Nobuhiko, or Nobuhiko Satō in Western naming order.
Shigeyo’s mother was Kunihiro Mine, or Mine Kunihiro in Western naming order.
and remove Hidesuke’s father.
Yoshiko’s maiden surname is Kishi, and was the daughter of Kishi Nobumasa, or Nobumasa Kishi in Western naming order.
So is the name Satō Moyo Shigeyo? And who is Yoshiko?
Kan was the son of Abe Ayasuke, or Ayasuke Abe in Western naming order, and of Abe Tame, or Tame Abe in Western naming order. Shizuko was the son of Hondō Tsunejiro, or Tsunejiro Hondō in Western naming order, and of Hideko Ōshima. Hideko was the daughter of Ōshima Yoshimasa, or Yoshimasa Ōshima in Western naming order.
