Chief Cabinet Secretary

In Japan, the Chief Cabinet Secretary (内閣官房長官: Naikaku kanb chkan) is a Minister of State charged with directing the Cabinet Secretariat. In addition to overseeing the administrative operations of the Cabinet, the Chief Cabinet Secretary serves as the government's press secretary. The Chief Cabinet Secretary's office is located on the fifth floor of the prime minister's official residence in Tokyo. Japan's current Chief Cabinet Secretary is Hiroyuki Hosoda. The position was created on May 3, 1947, shortly after the passage of the Constitution of Japan. The Secretary was elevated to ministerial status in 1966. Yasuo Fukuda, who served under Yoshiro Mori and Junichiro Koizumi, is the longest-serving Chief Cabinet Secretary in history, having spent over 1,289 days in office. Chief Cabinet Secretaries who later became prime minister include Eisaku Sato, Takeo Fukuda, and Keizo Obuchi.
