Minamoto Yoritomo
Minamoto Yoritomo is a Japanese diplomat, soldier and politician. He was the President of Japan for two terms in August and September 2009.
Minamoto is a native Japanese who very quickly involved himself in the politics and the military of the world. By June of 2009 Minamoto was elevate to the post of Public Relations Secretary and was tasked with informing the citizens and getting them involved in the Japanese community.
In early July, Indonesia approached Japan about loaning Kyushu to them. Minamoto opposed this deal on two accounts and afterwards resigned from his post as Secretary of Public Relations. Thinking that the government was responsible, he launched a bid for President of Japan for the August elections.
Minamoto campaigned mainly on a platform of government transparency and renewal. Things looked dire as Minamoto could not secure himself one of the top 5 parties to support him. Without so, he risked not being able to run. Controversially, the Korean National Party allowed Minamoto onto his party's ticket on the basis of allowing competition in the upcoming election. Things turned upwards and Yoritomo was elected.
