Kayoko Miyamoto

Junichiro Koizumi's personal life began in 1977, when he was introduced by former Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda and his wife to Kayo Miyamoto. In 1978, Kayo Miyamoto was the granddaughter of Taito Terayama, and the two subsequently held a wedding ceremony. The wedding took place at the Prince Hotel in Tokyo, attended by over 2,500 guests. The then-Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda attended the celebration, representing the Liberal Democratic Party and the Fukuda family to congratulate the Koizumi family. The wedding cake was designed in the shape of the National Diet Building, symbolizing Koizumi’s ambitious engagement with parliamentary affairs.

In this marriage, they had three sons: the eldest, Koizumi Kotaro; the second, Koizumi Shinjiro; and the youngest, Miyamoto Zencho. Born in 1959, Koizumi Kotaro and in 1960, Koizumi Shinjiro, were born after their parents’ divorce. Miyamoto Zencho, their youngest child, was also born after the divorce.
