Isoko Mochizuki (Japanese: 望月 衣塑子, Mochizuki Isoko; born 1975) is a Japanese newspaper journalist for Chunichi Shimbun (Tokyo Shimbun), based in Nagoya. Mochizuki is the inspiration for the film The Journalist (Japanese: Shimbun Kisha; 2019), directed by Michihito Fujii and loosely based on a book of the same name by Mochizuki. She stars in the documentary film Documentary of the Journalist (2019) by Tatsuya Mori. Justin McCurry wrote in The Guardian that "Mochizuki specialises in a brand of robust questioning that many regard as the stock in trade of political reporters in Britain. In Japan, though, she is a rarity in a media landscape where avoiding confrontation is often accepted as the price for continued access to important government sources." In March 2019, about 600 people rallied in support of her at a protest in front of the prime minister's office. In 2018, she co-wrote a book with former The New York Times correspondent Martin Fackler about access journalism and media independence in Japan's major newspapers.

From 1946 to 1947, Ishibashi served as finance minister under Shigeru Yoshida. He was elected into the National Diet in 1947, but was purged for openly opposing the U.S. occupation policies; he returned to the Diet in 1952, after which he allied with Ichiro Hatoyama and served as his minister of international trade and industry. Ishibashi succeeded Hatoyama as prime minister in 1956, simultaneously serving as director of the Defense Agency, but resigned soon after due to ill health.
