Matajiro Koizumi

Matajiro Koizumi

Matajiro Koizumi (小泉 又次郎 "Koizumi Matajir", June 10, 1865 - September 24, 1951) was the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications in Japan. He was a scaffolder's son from Yokohama, known as "wild man" and "irezumi minister" because he had a large tattoo of a red dragon on his back. He sought to privatise the Post Office.

Matajiro Koizumi led a movement to establish universal suffrage during the Taishō period. Koizumi's son-in-law, Junya Koizumi, became a director general of the Defense Agency and a second-generation Diet member.

Matajiro Koizumi's grandson, Junichiro Koizumi, served as the Prime Minister of Japan from 2001 to 2006 and inherited his grandfather's idea of postal privatization; Junichiro had himself been Minister of Posts and Telecommunications in 1992-93 under Kiichi Miyazawa.
