The premiership of Yukio Hatoyama from 2009 to 2010 marked a historic political transition in Japan after the Democratic Party of Japan won the 2009 general election and ended decades of near-continuous Liberal Democratic Party rule. His administration focused on reducing bureaucratic influence, redirecting public spending toward households and social programs, and pursuing a more independent and Asia-focused foreign policy. Hatoyama also sought improved regional relations with neighboring Asian countries while reconsidering aspects of the United States–Japan alliance, particularly regarding the American military base issue in Okinawa. His government initially enjoyed strong public support but later faced declining approval ratings due to political controversies and difficulties fulfilling campaign promises. Hatoyama resigned in June 2010 after less than one year in office.
