Hatoyama's emergence within an American-sponsored, first-of-its-kind, democratic election was in many ways a profound statement on the true nature of internal Japanese politics.
Hatoyama was as much an anathema to American authorities as they were an insult to the sovereignty of the Japanese character.
Hatoyama's strength was in part due to his "bend but don't break" resistance to the American occupation.

In a final runoff vote, Hatoyama, a party founder, barely defeated (by 12 votes) his fellow party elder and rival, the popular secretary general Naoto Kan, who was defeated in a 1999 party poll.
The problem with Hatoyama is that he is "only modestly popular and lacks the vigor to exert strong leadership".
His advice to Hatoyama about forming a policy agenda that would explain what the party would do if it replaced the LDP is sincere advice.

Politically as well as physically, Ichiro Hatoyama was in poor shape to fight such attacks.
In a letter to Russian Premier Bulganin, Hatoyama proposed a peace with Russia on "the Adenauer formula," i.e., resume diplomatic relations on an interim basis, leaving the terms of a formal peace treaty (and hence the question of ownership of Etorofu and Kunashiri) for future settlement.
Hatoyama," said one of his aides, "will be quite satisfied even if his health collapses in the course of negotiations." Echoing public dismay at the Prime Minister's prospective surrender to the Russians, the monthly Bungei-Shunju retorted: "We are not worried about Hatoyama's body.

 An Ideological Survey of Japan's National Legislators--JAPAN ECHO
Hatoyama and others in his camp criticized Prime Minister Yoshida Shigeru's policy of creeping remilitarization as inadequate and called for revision of the Constitution so as to permit the possession of war potential.
Hatoyama Ichirô, incidentally, is the grandfather of the Hatoyama brothers Yukio and Kunio who are currently prominent in the DPJ, today's leading progressive party.
The postwar confrontation between Japan's conservatives and progressives thus originated both as a manifestation of the global confrontation between capitalism and communism and--to an even greater extent--as an expression of the domestic confrontation between the forces opposed to the Occupation reforms and those in favor of them.

 Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall August 27, 2005 02:36 PM
Ichiro Hatoyama, the first ascending Prime Minister, who assembled a coalition in the new government of Occupied Japan was purged from office by the Occupation authorities the night before he would have been vested with his office.
This was a lousy lesson for democracy -- but still Hatoyama came back as Prime Minister in 1954, evidence in part of a significant change of political course that Americans took in Japan.
The differences between America's engagement in Iraq and Japan are enormous -- but what is clear is that there is a cost to keeping the competent civil and military administrators who worked for thugs, but who were not thugs themselves, from taking positions in a reformed government.

 Brief History of Japan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
There was initially some political disorientation--Katayama Tetsu was a socialist prime minister (1947-1948)--until in 1955 prime minister Hatoyama Ichiro (1954-1956) founded the conservative Liberal-Democratic Party (LDP), to which the Japanese electorate, with a brief interlude in 1990s, has been loyal ever since, making Japan in practice if not in principle a one-party state.
However, as the LDP represents such a large section of public opinion, its factions can be considered to be the equivalent of sub-parties within one large umbrella party, making due allowance for the lack of basic ideological discrepancies.
Under Hatoyama, perhaps the most important post-war, and possibly all time, Japanese prime minister, the Japanese economy surpassed all previous economic markers.
