Hara Kei

 or Hara Takashi

(born March 15, 1856, Morioka, Japan—died Nov. 4, 1921, Tokyo) Prime minister of Japan (1918–21) and cofounder of one of Japan's first political parties, the Rikken Seiyukai. Hara lowered the property qualifications for voting, thus enlarging the electorate to include small landholders, who supported the Seiyukai. He attempted to reduce the power of the military, which led to his assassination by a right-wing fanatic.
