Politician. Served as the 24th Prime Minister of Japan. Also known as "Komei Kato." He begam his term in June 1924 in charge of a new coalition government. His party won a majority in the Diet(Parliament) in 1925, and he was able to name his own cabinet. A new period of democratic government began. Universal male suffrage was enacted, the army was greatly reduced in size and influence, the power of the House of Peers was lessened, and moderate social legislation was introduced. Tragically, Kato died before the end of his term.
