A member of the Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) (LDP), Kaifu ran successfully for the Diet in 1960 and served for thirteen terms.
He was education minister before rising to lead the party after the resignations of Takeshita Noboru and Sosuke Uno; he was selected as a "clean" leader.

Uno's scandal, covered in magazine interviews of a "kiss and tell" geisha, aroused the fury of female voters.
Yet Uno's successor, the eloquent if obscure Kaifu Toshiki, was successful in repairing the party's battered image.
By January 1990, talk of the waning of conservative power and a possible socialist government had given way to the realization that, like the Lockheed affair of the mid-1970s, the Recruit scandal did not signal a significant change in who ruled Japan.

WASHINGTON -- Administration officials predict the major setback suffered by Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in July's parliamentary elections will leave Tokyo less willing to make the concessions needed to lower its $50-billion trade surplus with the United States.
