YASUHIRO NAKASONE
b. May 27, 1918
PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN
November 27, 1982-November 6, 1987
From a vocal critic of the American postwar occupation of Japan to a strong advocate of the importance of the Japanese-American relationship, from an early proponent of atomic energy in the atomic-bombed Japan to last year's turning away to embrace solar energy after Fukushima, with a six-decade-long political career not without its touches of scandal, Yasuhiro Nakasone has become an admired elder statesman. Some articles about the former prime minister's more recent activities and history and can be found here (with a contemporary photograph) and here and here.
