		Ōhira Masayoshi (大平正芳 March 12,1910 - June 12,1980) was a Japanese politician and the 68th Prime Minister from December 7,1978 to June 12,1980.

		During that week, as Ohira fought to regain power and form a government, the Japanese public got a fascinating glimpse of the depth and breadth of political divisions within the LDP and the potential obstructiveness of the system.
		Ohira's chief rivals fought to unseat him with a passion fueled by personal enmity and ideological distaste for his alliance with Kakuei Tanaka, the former prime minister unseated after the press revealed the Lockheed airplane company's extensive bribery of government officials to gain contracts.
		Ohira is also bound to Tanaka, who exacted a stiff fee in Cabinet posts for his key support.

		Ohira's death was not expected to provoke any significant change in Japan's foreign policy and solidly pro-Western loyalty; Ohira himself had regularly reaffirmed it, with the full backing of his conservative Liberal Democratic Party.
		Ohira had confidently planned to increase his party's strength in the Diet's 511-member lower house, but a candid speech about higher taxes provoked a slight loss instead.
		To some Japanese, in fact, Ohira was just a stubborn bureaucrat, resisting disparate cries for change, but to many others he was a symbol of embattled principle.

	Kakuei Tanaka - a political biography of modern Japan:
		Ohira would have been Tanaka's choice, but the public wouldn't have been very tolerant of that and given Lockheed, Ohira probably had little desire to become an unpopular Prime Minister just to save Tanaka's neck.
		However, in doing so, they were treading on thin ice for two reasons: first the LDP, as a party, could not afford a direct factional confrontation because any weakness would lessen their power in relation to that of the Socialists and other opposition groups.
		Masayoshi Ohira became Prime Minister on December 1, 1978.

		During the meeting, Ohira not only admitted that he (and probably Japanese Prime Minister Ikeda) had no understood what the U.S. meant by "introduce," but acknowledged that it would not apply to nuclear weapons on ships.
		Ohira added that if Japan was forced to explain the discrepancy sometime in the future, the "growing realization by [the] Japanese people of [the] necessity for nuclear defense would probably make [the] whole problem academic in three years or so."
