Takahiro Yokomichi (横路 孝弘, Yokomichi Takahiro, 3 January 1941 – 2 February 2023)[1] was a Japanese politician who belonged to the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) and was a member of the House of Representatives in the Diet (national legislature).
A native of Sapporo, Hokkaidō, and graduate of the University of Tokyo, he was elected to the first of his five terms in the House of Representatives in 1969 as a member of the Japan Socialist Party in the electoral district of his late father Setsuo.
After finishing his term as governor, he left the Socialist Party, joining the DPJ.
After the victory of 2009 elections, then-DPJ President Yukio Hatoyama named him as the next house speaker.
In the 2012 general election Yokomichi lost his single-seat electorate but retained a seat in the Diet through the proportional representation system.
