Hiroshi Kamiya (神谷 裕, Kamiya Hiroshi; born 10 August 1968) is a Japanese politician of the Centrist Reform Alliance and a member of the House of Representatives in the Diet (national legislature). Kamiya represents Hokkaido through the Hokkaido PR block. Kamiya first ran for office in the 2014 election as the DPJ candidate for the Hokkaido 10th district, losing against the incumbent Hisashi Inatsu. He would have a rematch with Inatsu in the 2017 general election. This time, he lost by a margin of 513 votes, making Hokkaido-10th one of the most marginal seats in the country. Nonetheless, Kamiya obtained enough votes to be elected through the CDP's PR block list. He won the district in 2024 after winning proportional representation again in 2021, and became one of 7 CRA candidates to survive the 2026 landslide in single member districts. Kamiya was reelected to his seat by a very narrow margin of 21 votes, making Hokkaido-10th the most marginal seat in the election. Before running for public office, Kamiya worked as a secretary in the offices of Councillor Eri Tokunaga and Representative Tadamasa Kodaira. He also previously worked in a fisheries cooperative.

Kintarō Hayakawa (June 10, 1886 – November 23, 1973), known professionally as Sessue Hayakawa, was a Japanese actor. He was a popular star and matinée idol in Hollywood during the silent film era of the 1910s and early 1920s. Hayakawa was the first actor of Asian descent to achieve stardom as a leading man in the United States and Europe. His "broodingly handsome" good looks and typecasting as a sexually dominant villain made him a heartthrob among American women during a time of racial discrimination, and he became one of the first male sex symbols of Hollywood. After withdrawing from the Japanese naval academy and attempting suicide at 18, Hayakawa attended the University of Chicago, where he studied political economics in accordance with his wealthy parents' wish that he become a banker. Upon graduating, he traveled to Los Angeles to board a scheduled ship back to Japan, but tried acting in Little Tokyo. Hayakawa impressed Hollywood figures and was signed to star in The Typhoon (1914). He made his breakthrough in The Cheat (1915), and became famous for his roles as a forbidden lover. Hayakawa was one of the highest-paid stars of his time, earning $5,000 per week in 1915 and $2 million per year through his own production company from 1918 to 1921. Because of rising anti-Japanese sentiment and business difficulties, Hayakawa left Hollywood in 1922 and performed on Broadway and in Japan and Europe for many years before making his Hollywood comeback in Daughter of the Dragon (1931). Of his talkies, Hayakawa is probably best known for his role as Colonel Saito in The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the pirate captain in Swiss Family Robinson (1960). Hayakawa starred in over 80 feature films, and three of his films (The Cheat, The Dragon Painter, and The Bridge on the River Kwai) stand in the United States National Film Registry.
