'Koizumi's Children' blown away by winds of change

HAMAMATSU, Japan - Satsuki Katayama, one of the 83 Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers who were elected in 2005 for the first time on the back of the popularity of then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, bows to supporters at her campaign office in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, on Aug. 30, 2009, after she was defeated by independent Minoru Kiuchi in the House of Representatives election. Katayama, who was touted by Koizumi as a ''madonna of reform,'' was defeated by Kiuchi, an LDP rebel who voted against Koizumi's postal reform bills and was forced to give up the seat to Katayama at the last election.
