Kishi was born Nobusuke Satō in Tabuse, Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, but left his family at a young age to move in with the more affluent Kishi family, adopting their family name.
Kishi is credited as being a key player in the initiation of the "1955 System," the extended period during which a single political party (the LDP) remained dominant.

Kishi Nobusuke did not dictate the final terms of the conservative project or of LDP dominance, but he contributed more than any other to its main characteristics-- both respectable and disreputable.
Kishi recalls confidently (and with decided understatement) that he was not without resources and contacts upon which he could call during his rise to power: "Among business leaders at that time, I was closest to Fujiyama Aichiro, the Chairman of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and to Uemura Kogoro at Keidanren.
Kishi noted the language in the various peace treaties allowing reparations to be paid "in the form of capital and consumer goods produced by the Japanese industries and services of the Japanese people," and he made sure that his business supporters would be the companies that supplied the goods and services.

Also, liberals were distrustful of Kishi because of his previous attempt to alter the constitution and to strengthen the state's police powers.
Kishi's proposals had to be abandoned in face of protests by both the left (Sohyo called a general strike) and from within the LDP.
Yet, the bottom line was that Kishi resigned (over the Haggerty affair), and was replaced by Ikeda Hayato (former Education Minister during the 1933 Kyoto University Incident), a member of Kishi's faction, and Ikeda promptly announced his income-doubling plan.

 (DV) Salzberg: Abe's "Normal" Japan
Although talk of Kishi normally begins with his stint as prime minister between 1957 and 1960, he in fact first rose to prominence in the midst of World War II, winning a seat in the Yokusan [All-Out National Support] "elections" of 1942.
Yet not only was Kishi exonerated of all blame for his role after Japan's defeat, he also had the unbelievable luck to climb all the way to the top of the greasy pole while his erstwhile colleagues looked on in blank amazement.
[18] That Kishi was released from prison despite these war crimes, by direct command from the Intelligence Section of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Forces (SCAP), was "not unrelated to the ongoing cold war, and that subsequently Kishi as a postwar political leader maintained a consistently pro-American stance" [17, p.

China Youth Daily, an influential journal sponsored by the CYL, once commented that Mori Yoshiro was a pro-Taiwan prime minister in the mold of one of his predecessors, Kishi Nobusuke, who patronized the Chiang Kai-shek administration in Taiwan but refused to recognize the communist government in mainland China after the World War II.

His grandfather Nobusuke Kishi became Prime Minister in 1957, culminating an amazing political comeback after having served a three-year prison sentence as a 'class-A' war criminal for his wartime role as Minister of Commerce and Industry.
The US occupational authorities let Kishi off the hook, enlisting his aid in the fight against commies, but the Japanese people were less forgiving and finally drove him from office in 1960 through massive protests against the US-Japan Security Treaty.
Kishi's son-in-law Shintaro Abe, father of Shinzo, was expected to become Prime Minister himself one day.

Kishi, whose government was shaken by pro- longed rioting against renewal of the U.S.-Japanese security treaty and Eisenhower's visit, said the demonstrations were "obvious, premeditated vio- lejice planned by the Communists." "To protect peace and freedom and tho future prosperity of Japan, we must fight this violence head he added.
Kishi gave no ground on the leftists' chief demands for dissolution of Parliament to nullify ratification of the defense pact so the voters could accept or reject it in a general election, and for his own resignation.
By in session, Kishi has the power to win the form of a victory on the issue of its ratification but it may prove to be an empty victory unless new political forces come into play in Tokyo now that the visit has been canceled.
