Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reshuffled the cabinet today. According to the cabinet list announced today, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara Minoru, Minister of Foreign Affairs Motegi Toshimitsu, Minister of Defense Koizumi Shinjiro, Minister of Finance Katayama Satsuki, and others remained in office; former director general of the Japan Restoration Association of far-right parties Hiroshi Nakashi joined the cabinet as minister in charge of regulatory reform. This is also the first time that members of the Restoration Association have entered the cabinet.
