Masahiro Morioka (森岡 正宏, Morioka Masahiro) is a former Japanese politician who served in the House of Representatives as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party. He was the secretary for the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare.[citation needed] He thinks that family is the foundation of securing the nation of Japan.[1] He disputes the legitimacy of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, saying that the tribunal helped place a masochistic view of history in the Japanese people's minds.[2]
