On August 26, 2011, Naoto Kan announced his resignation as the representative (party leader) of the Democratic Party. He was in power for a total of 15 months. Before being interrupted by the earthquake for some reason, he was the first prime minister to serve for more than one year since Junichiro Koizumi resigned. In terms of diplomacy, he was relatively friendly to China and South Korea. During his tenure, he made the Japanese government apologize for the third time on the issue of aggression, and issued the post-war speech in 2010 despite conservatives. During the administrations of his predecessors, Hatoyama and Naoto Kan, Japan once again expressed its stance of facing history, which led to a brief recovery in Sino-Japanese relations. After leaving office, he joined the anti-nuclear movement. In 2024, Naoto Kan will not run for re-election to the House of Representatives and retire from politics.
