Junichiro Koizumi is a Japanese politician, Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Liberal Democratic Party from 2001 to 2006. He retired from politics in 2009, he remains the sixth-longest serving Prime Minister in Japanese history. Seen as a maverick leader of the LDP upon his election to the position in 2001, he became known as an economic reformer, focusing on reducing Japan's government debt and the privatisation of its postal service. In the 2005 election, Koizumi led the LDP to win one of the largest parliamentary majorities in modern Japanese history. Koizumi attracted international attention through his deployment of the Japan Self-Defense Forces to Iraq, through his visits to the Yasukuni Shrine that fueled diplomatic tensions with neighbouring China and South Korea. Koizumi resigned as Prime Minister in 2006. Although Koizumi maintained a low profile for several years after he left office, he returned to national attention in 2013 as an advocate for abandoning nuclear power in Japan, in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, which contrasted with the pro-nuclear views espoused by the LDP governments both during and after Koizumi's term in office.
Koizumi is a third-generation politician of the Koizumi family. His father, Jun'ya Koizumi, was director general of the Japan Defense Agency and a member of the House of Representatives, his grandfather, Koizumi Matajirō, called "Tattoo Minister" because of the big tattoo on his body, the leader of Koizumi Gumi in Kanagawa, was Minister of Posts and Telecommunications under Prime Ministers Hamaguchi and Wakatsuki and an early advocate of postal privatization. Born in Yokosuka, Kanagawa on January 8, 1942, Koizumi was educated at Yokosuka High School, he graduated with a Bachelor of Economics degree from Keio University. He attended University College London before returning to Japan in August 1969 upon the death of his father, he stood for election to the lower house in December. In 1970, he was hired as a secretary to Takeo Fukuda, Minister of Finance at the time and was elected as Prime Minister in 1976. In the general elections of December 1972, Koizumi was elected as a member of the Lower House for the Kanagawa 11th district.
He joined Fukuda's faction within the LDP. Since he has been re-elected ten times. Koizumi gained his first senior post in 1979 as Parliamentary Vice Minister of Finance, his first ministerial post in 1988 as Minister of Health and Welfare under Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita, he held cabinet posts again in 1992 and 1996–1998. In 1994, with the LDP in opposition, Koizumi became part of a new LDP faction, made up of younger and more motivated parliamentarians led by Taku Yamasaki, Koichi Kato and Koizumi, a group popularly dubbed "YKK" after the zipper manufacturer YKK. After Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa resigned in 1994 and the LDP returned to power in a coalition government and Hosokawa teamed up with Shusei Tanaka of New Party Sakigake in a strategic dialogue across party lines regarding Japan becoming a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. Although this idea was not popular within the LDP and never came to fruition and Hosokawa maintained a close working relationship across party lines, with Hosokawa tacitly serving as Koizumi's personal envoy to China during times of strained Sino-Japanese relations.
Koizumi competed for the presidency of the LDP in September 1995 and July 1998, but he gained little support losing decisively to Ryutaro Hashimoto and Keizō Obuchi, both of whom had broader bases of support within the party. However, after Yamasaki and Kato were humiliated in a disastrous attempt to force a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Yoshirō Mori in 2000, Koizumi became the last remaining credible member of the YKK trio, which gave him leverage over the reform-minded wing of the party. On April 24, 2001, Koizumi was elected president of the LDP, he was considered an outside candidate against Hashimoto, running for his second term as Prime Minister. However, in the first poll of prefectural party organizations, Koizumi won 87 to 11 percent, he defeated Hashimoto by a final tally of 298 to 155 votes. He was made Prime Minister of Japan on April 26, his coalition secured 78 of 121 seats in the Upper House elections in July. Within Japan, Koizumi pushed for new ways to revitalise the moribund economy, aiming to act against bad debts with commercial banks, privatize the postal savings system, reorganize the factional structure of the LDP.
He spoke of the need for a period of painful restructuring. In the fall of 2002, Koizumi appointed Keio University economist and frequent television commentator Heizō Takenaka as Minister of State for Financial Services and head of the Financial Services Agency to fix the country's banking crisis. Bad debts of banks were cut with the NPL ratio of major banks approaching half the level of 2001; the Japanese economy has been through a slow but steady recovery, the stock market has rebounded. The GDP growth for 2004 was one of the highest among G7 nations, according to the International Monetary Fund and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. Takenaka was appointed as a Postal Reform Minister in 2004 for the privatization of Japan Post, operator of the country's Postal Savings system. Koizumi m

Mount Victoria is a prominent hill 196 metres high to the east of central Wellington, New Zealand. About 4 kilometres due south is a spur named the two are linked by a ridge. Mount Victoria's residential area is on its north-western slopes. Mount Victoria's original Māori name is Tangi Te Keo, though Matairangi is used; the first name derives from a legend in which two taniwha tried to escape from Wellington Harbour, an enclosed lake. One taniwha became stranded and died, its spirit turned into a bird named Te Keo, which flew to the top of the mountain and mourned; the second name translates as "to examine the sky". It was settled at its foot, Wellington's Te Aro filled with commercial activities. Residents wanted more comfortable surroundings. For a long time it was one of Wellington's sources of fresh milk from its dairy farms. Much of Mount Victoria is part of the Wellington Town Belt, a series of park land granted to the city in 1873 for public recreation; the vegetation in the area is dominated by pines and macrocarpa planted in the “plantation years” from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
The area features many tracks used for mountain biking. The Mount Victoria Lookout is situated within the Town Belt, offers panoramic views of the greater Wellington area. Not far to its east is the Mount Victoria Radio Tower, Wellington's main radio and television mast from 1927 until 1965, when the larger and more powerful Mount Kaukau transmitter opened. A strong link was forged between Cretans and New Zealanders during World War II. New Zealanders left behind in the retreat from Crete were hidden from the occupying army by Cretans at great personal danger and they were able to harass occupying forces. A commemoration of the Battle of Crete is held each year in May. Lloyd Street which has the Greek community centre and Orthodox Church was renamed Hania Street after Crete's old capital. Wellington's Olympic Football Club was established by Father Ilias Economou for his parishioners. About 65 per cent of Greek New Zealanders live in Wellington and in the decades following World War II they were concentrated in Mount Victoria.
The greatest concentration is now in Miramar and around half of Greek weddings are now with other New Zealanders. The suburb is entirely residential with commercial activity along Kent Terrace on its north-western boundary; the houses are on the north-western flank of the ridge above the southern end of the Wellington CBD, Te Aro. Adjoining suburbs are Oriental Bay with Roseneath, Newtown to the south, Te Aro to the west beyond Kent Terrace and Hataitai on the far side of the ridge beyond the town belt. WaterfrontWhat would seem to be residential Mount Victoria's frontage to the harbour is now technically a one-building-wide strip of Oriental Bay; the houses in Roxburgh, McFarlane and Moeller Streets are all in Mount Victoria. The houses below those streets front onto Oriental Parade, defined as Oriental Bay; the old monastery is in Mount Victoria. Palliser Road is in Roseneath. Wellington College and Government House, official residence of New Zealand's Governor-General, are beyond the southern boundary to the south-east of cricket's Basin Reserve.
Beyond Government House is Newtown's Wellington Hospital.

Byrd Schools Wellington College Wellington East Girls' College Clyde Quay School Churches Roman Catholic: St Gerard's Church St Joseph's Church Other: The Cathedral of The Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, Hania Street St Mark's Church Tunnels The Hataitai Bus Tunnel and the Mount Victoria Tunnel run beneath the ridge, connecting the central city with Wellington International Airport, Evans Bay and the Miramar Peninsula. Mount Victoria was used twice as a location in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy; the first footage on the project was shot off Alexandra Road on 11 October 1999, called the "Get off the road" scene, followed by the "Escape from the Nazgûl" scenes a few hundred metres to the North. An old quarry at the top end of Ellice Street was used as the Rohirrim camp at Dunharrow.
The Mount Victoria Lookout is the location. It was filmed by photographer Mark Gee at moonrise on 28 January 2013; the real time video footage shows silhouettes of people gathered up on the lookout watching a huge moon rise, became an internet sensation, gaining international media attention and viewed by millions worldwide.
