Last month, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe formally reshuffled his cabinet. On the 25th, the 15 newly inducted cabinet members disclosed the assets of the cabinet officials. Shinjiro Koizumi is the first with 290 million yen (about 18.87 million yuan), and all his assets are in the name of his new wife, Takikawa Christine. Even counting the already disclosed Abe and his remaining cabinet members, Koizumi's total assets rank second, behind Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso.

According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on the 25th, the assets disclosed this time include the share of the new cabinet members themselves, their spouses and children, and the average total assets of the 15 people are 51.07 million yen. Koizumi's wife, Takikawa, held securities totaling 290 million yen, ranking first, but Koizumi himself did not declare assets. At a press conference on the 25th, Koizumi confided mixed feelings about the matter, saying, "She (Takikawa) must go public because she is married to me. Although this is the rule, I honestly feel sorry for her." Considering that Takikawa holds a large number of government bonds, Koizumi said, "After the cabinet term is over, I also want to buy government bonds."

As the son of former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, Koizumi Jinjiro has been regarded as the "signature" and "rising star" of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party since entering politics. In August this year, Koizumi Shinjiro and Japanese popular female anchor Takikawa Christine flashed marriage, and early next year the two will usher in the birth of a new life. (Li Na)
