The First Takaichi cabinet was the 104th Cabinet of Japan, formed on 21 October 2025 when Sanae Takaichi was appointed Prime Minister by Emperor Naruhito as designated by the National Diet, following the resignation of Shigeru Ishiba after the 2025 Liberal Democratic Party presidential election.
The country's first woman-led government, it is also the first time that the Japan Innovation Party (JIP) will participate in the national government, following the collapse of the LDP–Komeito coalition, which had governed from 1999 to 2009 and from 2012 to 2025, and the formation of the LDP–JIP coalition.[1]
