	Junichiro Koizumi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Koizumi was popular among many Japanese for his assertive foreign policy stances, such as the deployment of Japanese Self-Defence Forces to Iraq, an unrepentant stance towards China and South Korea over his Yasukuni shrine visits, the pursuit of pro-active negotiations with North Korea, and emphasizing Japan's claims against Russia over the Kuril Islands.
		Koizumi's government also introduced a bill to upgrade the Japan Defense Agency to ministry status, but this bill was not passed in the 2006 session and will be deferred to the next session under the watch of Koizumi's successor.
		Koizumi is a fan of Richard Wagner, X Japan, and the Japanese pop band Morning Musume, and has released a CD of his favorite songs by Ennio Morricone.

	TIMEasia Magazine: Japan - Gunning for Reform
		These policies, if Koizumi can continue implementing them during a second term, may cement his legacy and prove just as important to Japan's future as overhauling the economy.
		To understand Koizumi's reform priorities, you have to understand how Japan's postwar conservatives were divided between a decorous "mainstream" and a more bluntly nationalist "antimainstream." Koizumi is the scion of a distinguished line of these antimainstreamers, a faction of conservative politicians who longed to revise the constitution imposed on Japan by the U.S. in 1947.
		In the end, these reforms may be truer to Koizumi's character—and political lineage—than the superficial caricature of an economic visionary that carried him to power the first time.
