List of Prime Ministers of Japan

Shinzō Abe was appointed prime minister on 26 December 2012


This is a list of Prime Ministers of Japan, including those of the Empire of Japan, from when the first Japanese prime minister (in the modern sense), Itō Hirobumi, took office in 1885, until the present day. The office is currently held by Shinzō Abe. Those Prime Ministers under the Meiji Constitution had a mandate from the Emperor. The "electoral mandates" shown are for the lower house of the Imperial Diet that was not constitutionally guaranteed to have any influence on the appointment of the Prime Minister.


Multiple terms in office, consecutive or otherwise, are listed and counted in the first column (administration number) and the second column counts individuals. For example, Hatoyama Yukio, is listed as the 60th individual to hold the office of prime minister, whilst his first cabinet is the 93rd since Itō Hirobumi.

Prime Ministers of the Empire of Japan (1868–1947)[edit]



Daijō-daijin (Chancellor of the Realm) during the Meiji period[edit]


The office of Daijō-daijin (太政大臣, Chancellor of the Realm of Japan) was the equivalent of what would become the office of Prime Minister. It was an ancient role that had been discontinued in the 18th century and was briefly revived under the Meiji constitution.


  • 1871–1885 Sanjo Sanetomi (三条実美) (1837–1891)

The office of Daijō-daijin was abolished in December 1885 with the appointment of Itō Hirobumi in the new position of Prime Minister.

Upon the resignation of Kuroda’s government, the Emperor only accepted Kuroda’s resignation and invited Sanjō to head the government for two more months. Today, however, Sanjō’s government is generally regarded as a continuation of Kuroda’s. Held concurrently by the Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. He had previously held the office of Daijō-daijin, or chancellor of the Realm, the predecessor office of the Prime Ministership.
