The Hatoyama Family is a famous Japanese political family and is sometimes referred to as Japan’s ‘Kennedy Family’. The family history is traceable to Kazuo Hatoyama, who was the Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1896 to 1897. His great grandson, Yukio Hatoyama was the Prime Minister of Japan from 2009 to 2010. Yukio’s grandfather was elected as Prime Minister of Japan, three times. His father,  Ichiro Hatoyama was the former foreign Minister of Japan and he served as Prime Minister from 1954 to 1956. In 2012 Hatoyama retired from politics.
