It is located in Kanagawa Prefecture , and consists of the cities of Miura and Yokosuka . Former Prime Minister of Japan Junichiro Koizumi served as the first representative of the constituency from its creation in 1996. Koizumi retired at the 2009 elections [ 1] and his son Shinjirō ran as a candidate for his father's old seat.[ 2] The Democratic Party of Japan fielded Katsuhito Yokokume , a lawyer and former participant in the Ainori TV show,[ 3] as a candidate in 2009 to a bid to end the LDP dominance of the district.[ 4]
