{{nihongo|'''Takeo Miki'''|三木 武夫|Miki Takeo|17 March 1907 – 14 November 1988}} was a Japanese politician who served as [[Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister of Japan]] from 1974 to 1976. 

A native of [[Tokushima Prefecture]], Miki was educated at [[Meiji University]] and the [[University of Southern California]]. He was first elected to the [[National Diet]] in 1937, and after the war was leader of the [[National Cooperative Party]], serving as communications minister from 1947 to 1948 under [[Tetsu Katayama]]. Miki later joined the [[Liberal Democratic Party (Japan)|Liberal Democratic Party]] and served as transportation minister under [[Ichirō Hatoyama]], held posts in the cabinets of [[Nobusuke Kishi]] and [[Hayato Ikeda]], and served as international trade and industry minister in 1965–1966 and foreign minister in 1966–1968 under [[Eisaku Satō]]. Miki became prime minister in 1974 upon the resignation of [[Kakuei Tanaka]], who had faced allegations of corruption, but his attempts to pass anti-monopoly legislation and political funding laws failed amid opposition from within his party. Miki announced a "1 percent of [[Gross domestic product|GDP]]" guideline for defense spending, thus setting a precedent for the next two decades. The LDP was damaged by the [[Lockheed scandal]] in 1976, and lost its majority in the [[1976 Japanese general election|that year's election]]. Miki was embarrassed by this result, resigned as premier, and was succeeded by [[Takeo Fukuda]].

== Early life and education ==
[[File:Miki-takeo-seika.JPG|left|thumb|Takeo Miki's birthplace]]
Takeo Miki was born on 17 March 1907, in Gosho, [[Tokushima Prefecture]] (present-day [[Awa, Tokushima]]), the only child of farmer-merchant Hisayoshi Miki and his wife Takano. Aside from farming, his father traded [[Fertilizer|fertilizers]], [[sake]], rice and general goods, though he was not a wealthy farmer (''[[gōnō]]'') or from a family of pedigree (''kyūke''). Hisayoshi was born in Kakihara, near Gosho, to farmer Rokusaburō Ino'o, and after briefly working in [[Osaka]], he returned and began working for the Shibata family, the largest landowner in Gosho. He met Takano Miki, the daughter of farmer Tokitarō Miki, when the two were working for the Shibata family. Hisayoshi took Takano's surname after marriage, and the newlywed were given a house by the Shibata family.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last1=Konishi |first1=Tokuō |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/758439654 |title=Miki Takeo kenkyū |last2=小西德應 |date=2011 |publisher=Nihon Keizai Hyōronsha |others=Meiji Daigaku.

When Miki was born, Hisayoshi was 33 and Takano was 38 years old, and Miki was raised with much love as he was the only child. His mother was particularly careful about his healthcare.<ref name=":0" />

While enrolled at [[Meiji University]]'s Faculty of [[Law]], Miki was able to spend four years from 1932 to 1936 traveling around the [[United States]], where he saw firsthand both [[Anglo-America|Anglo-American]] [[liberalism|liberal society]] as well as that society's aversion towards [[Totalitarianism|totalitarian]] states such as [[Nazi Germany]], [[Fascist Italy (1922–1943)|Fascist Italy]], and the [[Soviet Union]]. He attended the [[University of Southern California]] in [[Los Angeles]], and was later awarded an [[honorary doctorate]] in law from the institution in 1966.<ref name="JANM">[http://www.janm.org/collections/item/96.267.908/ Japanese Minister of International Trade and Industry, Takeo Miki's visit to Los Angeles, California, 29–30 September 1966 and 1 and 3 October 1966], Japanese American National Museum, Accessed 10 February 2009.</ref>

== Political career ==
[[File:Miki-takeo-1937.jpg|thumb|left|Miki in 1937]]
During 1937, Miki was elected to the [[Diet of Japan|Diet]]; he remained there for the rest of his life, winning re-election no fewer than 19 times over 51 years. In the [[1942 Japanese general election|1942 general election]] he openly voiced opposition to the military government under [[Hideki Tojo]] and still managed to win a seat; his efforts at this time were assisted by [[Kan Abe]], the grandfather of Prime Minister [[Shinzō Abe]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Japanese prime minister's another DNA|url=http://english.donga.com/srv/service.php3?biid=2013102834278|access-date=15 January 2014|newspaper=Dong-A Ilbo|date=28 October 2013}}</ref>

In the earlier post-war period, Miki led the centrist [[National Cooperative Party]] in the [[1947 Japanese general election|1947]] and [[1949 Japanese general election|1949]] general elections, to limited success. In the early 1950s, Miki joined [[Ichirō Hatoyama]]'s [[Democratic Party (Japan, 1954)|Democratic Party]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kohno|first=Masaru|date=1992|title=Rational Foundations for the Organization of the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2010543|journal=World Politics|volume=44|issue=3|pages=371|doi=10.2307/2010543|jstor=2010543|s2cid=154083014 |issn=0043-8871}}</ref> which was one of the two main conservative factions of the time and took a stance that was critical of [[Shigeru Yoshida]] and his [[Liberal Party (Japan, 1950)|Liberal Party]]. These two factions eventually merged in 1955 to form the modern-day [[Liberal Democratic Party (Japan)|Liberal Democratic Party]] (LDP), which Miki joined as well.
[[File:Takeo Miki 01.jpg|thumb|Miki in 1952]]
As the head of an [[Factions in the Liberal Democratic Party (Japan)|LDP faction]], Miki held cabinet posts in the administrations of [[Ichirō Hatoyama]], [[Nobusuke Kishi]], [[Hayato Ikeda]], and [[Eisaku Satō]]. However, he was especially critical of the Kishi administration, and was strongly opposed to Kishi's handling of the massive [[Anpo protests|1960 Anpo protests]] against the [[U.S.-Japan Security Treaty]].{{sfn|Kapur|2018|p=89}} When Kishi railroaded the treaty through the Diet on May 19, 1960, Miki's faction absented itself from the vote in protest of Kishi's heavy-handed approach.{{sfn|Kapur|2018|p=89}} On May 28, Miki and fellow faction leader [[Kenzō Matsumura]] issued a public call for Kishi's resignation,{{sfn|Kapur|2018|p=89}} and Kishi was ultimately forced to resign in July.{{sfn|Kapur|2018|p=34}}  However, when [[Ichirō Kōno]] floated a plan later that summer to split up the LDP, Miki and Matsumura ultimately declined to support him.{{sfn|Kapur|2018|p=90}} As punishment for taking part in the anti-Kishi rebellion, Miki was initially excluded from the cabinet of Kishi's successor Hayato Ikeda. However by the following year, Ikeda had cemented his power enough to overcome the objections of the Kishi faction and bring Miki back into the cabinet as Head of the Science and Technology Agency.{{sfn|Kapur|2018|p=94}}

Although Ikeda was re-elected as party president in 1964, he retired soon afterwards due to illness. In the debate over who would succeed Ikeda as prime minister, Miki supported Kishi's brother [[Eisaku Satō]] while Matsumura supported [[Ichirō Kōno]]. This led to a falling out between Miki and his erstwhile ally Matsumura, and thereafter the two men went their separate ways. Miki's support for Satō also healed the rift that had been created when he had opposed Kishi during the Anpo crisis, and Miki was rewarded for his support with powerful posts in the Satō cabinet, first as [[Minister of International Trade and Industry]] (1965–66) and then as [[Minister for Foreign Affairs (Japan)|Minister of Foreign Affairs]] (1966–68).

As the [[Minister for Foreign Affairs (Japan)|foreign minister]] under Satō, Miki secretly met in 1967 with American ambassador to Japan [[U. Alexis Johnson]] to discuss "how to reconcile Japanese desire for [[1971 Okinawa Reversion Agreement|reversion [of Okinawa]]] with [American] military requirements." This was part of a series of resolute attempts by several Japanese officials within the same time period aimed at convincing the [[United States]] to reconsider its continued hold on [[Okinawa Prefecture|Okinawa]], which the U.S. had formerly insisted should remain under American protection so long as there was any remaining instability in East Asia.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Watts|first=Robert C.|date=2019|title=ORIGINS OF A "RAGGED EDGE": U.S. Ambiguity on the Senkakus' Sovereignty|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/26654318|journal=Naval War College Review|volume=72|issue=3|pages=111|jstor=26654318|issn=0028-1484}}</ref> In matters of regional foreign policy, Miki was an early advocate of [[Asia-Pacific]] economic cooperation and, in 1968, he said that "'it would be an act of suicide on our part to create an exclusive and closed trading bloc in the Pacific area."<ref>{{Citation|last=Drysdale|first=Peter|title=OPEN REGIONALISM, APEC AND CHINAʹS INTERNATIONAL TRADE STRATEGIES|date=2012|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt24hb57.8|work=APEC and liberalisation of the Chinese economy|pages=16|editor-last=Drysdale|editor-first=Peter|publisher=ANU Press|jstor=j.ctt24hb57.8|isbn=978-1-922144-56-0|access-date=13 September 2021|editor2-last=Yunling|editor2-first=Zhang|editor3-last=Song|editor3-first=Ligang}}</ref> Despite this, [[ASEAN]] would later decline to invite now-Prime Minister Miki to the organisation's very first summit at [[Bali]] in 1976, as economic perceptions towards Japan in the region were negative because of resentment towards both [[Japanese war crimes|wartime abuse by Imperial Japan]] as well as Japan's [[Japanese economic miracle|current status]] as a powerful economic giant with a heavy trade surplus.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Villacorta|first=Wilfrido V.|date=1994|title=Japan's Asian Identity: Concerns for ASEAN-Japan Relations|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25770521|journal=ASEAN Economic Bulletin|volume=11|issue=1|pages=82|jstor=25770521|issn=0217-4472}}</ref>

== Premiership (1974–1976) ==
{{seealso|Miki Cabinet}}
Miki took over from [[Kakuei Tanaka]] as Prime Minister on 9 December 1974, following the latter's implication in the corruption concerning real-estate and construction companies. The attractiveness of Miki to the LDP bosses was chiefly due to his personal integrity, and his weak power base from his small faction. In fact, Miki had neither expected nor wanted to be prime minister at all, as was reflected when upon his election he murmured "a bolt from the blue".{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}

While Miki was at the funeral of ex-PM [[Eisaku Sato]] in 1975, he was assaulted by a right-wing extremist named Hiroyoshi Fudeyasu, the secretary-general of the [[Greater Japan Patriotic Party]]<ref name="SAS">{{cite web|url=https://www.stripes.com/news/attack-on-miki-security-lapse-shock-citizens-1.20993|title=Attack on Miki, security lapse shock citizens|work=Stars and Stripes }}</ref> with foreign dignitaries nearby.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1975/06/17/archives/japanese-premier-is-punched-by-a-rightist-at-sato-funeral.htmlM {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref> This caused criticism of the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police]] over not doing enough to ensure his safety.<ref name="SAS" />

In a 1976 [[National Diet|Diet]] session, Miki reaffirmed a past order of Prime Minister [[Eisaku Satō|Satō]]'s cabinet dating back to 1967 in which the percent of the national [[Gross domestic product|GDP]] allocated towards [[defense spending]] was frozen so as to not exceed 1%.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Samuels|first=Richard J.|date=2007|title="New Fighting Power!"

After being elected, Miki attempted to reform the [[Liberal Democratic Party (Japan)|LDP]], relentlessly investigating the [[Lockheed bribery scandals]] and refusing to halt the criminal prosecutions being made against his predecessor.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Izumikawa|first=Yasuhiro|date=2010|title=Explaining Japanese Antimilitarism: Normative and Realist Constraints on Japan's Security Policy|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40981245|journal=International Security|volume=35|issue=2|pages=147|doi=10.1162/ISEC_a_00020|jstor=40981245|s2cid=57567503|issn=0162-2889}}</ref> Miki also pursued political finance reforms.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kato|first=Junko|date=1998|title=When the Party Breaks Up: Exit and Voice among Japanese Legislators|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2586308|journal=The American Political Science Review|volume=92|issue=4|pages=864|doi=10.2307/2586308|jstor=2586308|s2cid=147403394 |issn=0003-0554}}</ref> These activities made him a large number of enemies within the party, and a campaign literally called "Down with Miki" ("''Miki oroshi''") was started by influential faction leaders.

As is customary for Japanese political officials following heavy party setbacks, Miki then resigned.<ref>{{cite news|title=Tanaka reshuffles Japanese cabinet|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1873&dat=19740717&id=74seAAAAIBAJ&sjid=g8wEAAAAIBAJ&pg=791,289067|access-date=6 January 2013|newspaper=Daytona Beach Morning|date=17 July 1974|agency=AP|location=Tokyo}}</ref> He was succeeded on 24 December 1976, by [[Takeo Fukuda]].

==Personal life==
In 1940, Miki married [[Mutsuko Miki|Mutsuko Mori]], daughter of the prominent Japanese businessman and politician, [[Nobuteru Mori]], who had founded [[Showa Denko]], a major chemical engineering firm. His brother-in-law, Kiyoshi Mori, was the head of the now defunct Management and Coordination Agency, which would later become the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications]]. His other brother-in-law, Yoshihide Mori, served as the chief of the Environment Agency, the forerunner of the present-day [[Ministry of the Environment]].

== Legacy ==
In [[Mao Zedong]]'s final days, he took a great interest in Miki's political condition, as Miki was suffering a coup d'état from amongst his own party. Mao had never shown any interest in Miki before, or even mentioned him.

[[NFL]] player [[Takeo Spikes]] was named after Miki.<ref name=SI2001>Michael Silver, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140314211047/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1024399/2/index.htm Face Lift], ''Sports Illustrated'', 26 November 2001, Accessed 7 October 2011.</ref>

=== Connection to Seattle ===
During his time in [[Seattle]], Miki spent a period as a dishwasher at noted Japanese restaurant [[Maneki]].<ref name=broom>{{citation |last=Broom |first=Jack |title=Japanese eatery will serve up a centennial party of its own | newspaper=[[The Seattle Times]] |date=20 September 2004 |url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20040920&slug=sushi20}}</ref>

To commemorate the ties of Japan to America, and Seattle in particular, Miki gave 1,000 cherry trees to Seattle to commemorate the [[United States Bicentennial]] in 1976. This gift gave birth to the [[Festál#Japan: Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival|Seattle Cherry Blossom Festival]], still running annually.<ref name=mckenzie>{{citation |last=McKenzie |first=Madeline |title=Enjoy a celebration of Japanese culture and other spring events in Seattle and Bellevue  | newspaper=[[The Seattle Times]] |date=24 April 2019 |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/events/enjoy-a-celebration-of-japanese-culture-and-other-spring-events-in-seattle-and-bellevue/}}</ref>

=== Slang term ===
In [[Hong Kong]], the name "Takeo Miki" (三木武夫) is sometimes used to describe actors or actresses with wooden or no emotional expressions during movies or TV dramas. Some{{Who|date=August 2020}} have said that the origin for the slang term stems from Miki's wooden expression during his appearance in news reports.
