Notes

  1. ^ Between 1947 and 1996, Kishida's constituency was a multi-member district elected through SNTV. After the 1994 Japanese electoral reform, mandating the abolition of all multi-member House of Representative districts, Hosakawa was re-elected to the synonymous Hiroshima 1st District, which was a single-member constituency elected through FPTP, in 1996 general election. The two constituencies are fundamentally different from each other, only with their identical name.
