The article says, He was born Nobusuke Satō in Tabuse, Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, but left his family at a young age to move in with the more affluent Kishi family, adopting their family name.
After reading Japanese and Chinese versions, it seemed there is a blank to be filled: Sato is actually the surname of his mother, his father married into the Sato family (This the common practice between powerful Japanese families.). However, by tradition, since he is the second son of the marriage, he was sent back to the Kishis, as an adopted son of the Kishi family, to continue the family line.
I just don't know how to word this, so may someone help? -- Samuel Curtis 14:22, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Kishi Nobusuke was elected Prime Minister in 1957, allegedly with the aid of CIA funds. From this source Japan's Contested War Memories: The 'Memory Rifts' in Historical ...By Philip A. Seaton Page 38-39( Greg723 ( talk) 15:10, 30 June 2014 (UTC)).
Tim Weiner's history of the CIA, "Legacy of Ashes," has a whole chapter discussing this... I think this is worth adding to the page here and I'll do it myself later this month. Mr Subtlety ( talk) 17:55, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
And the CIA pushed hard for Kishi Nobusuke to become prime minister. The LDP was basically a CIA op to get the US-Japan security treaty passed. -- 91.54.4.151 ( talk) 22:05, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
This article desperately needs a re-write. It goes into off-topic tangents, editorializes, repeats historians' opinions as fact, and repeats the same citations over and over and over. Not to mention all the spelling and grammar errors. I attempted to clean it up, but my edits were reverted. Sekicho ( talk) 18:16, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
Actually, I kind of preferred Sekicho’s version of this article. The current article is excruciatingly detailed in certain portions, while including almost nothing about some of the most important events of Kishi’s prime ministerial and post-prime ministerial career. The sections on Manchukuo constantly fly off on tangents about conditions in Manchuria that only partially or barely relate to Kishi. Looking back at the page history, I can see that Sekicho’s version was nicely balanced and much better written and edited to boot. Hadassah16 ( talk) 03:45, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Strangely, the article body does not mention his death (or anything after 1961) at all. Nor is his death date & place referenced. These are glaring missing details that should be added should someone find the time and sources! — MarkH21 talk 11:19, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
On July 14, 1960, Taisuke Aramaki attacked Kishi, who was leaving the prime minister’s residence to attend an election party for Hayato Ikeda. Aramaki stabbed Kishi six times in the thigh, but denied that he wanted to kill Nishi, despite the nature of the attack. Does anyone have objections to including this incident?

This article suffers from many exaggerated claims and sensationalistic wording, especially in the section on Manchukuo. A number of these claims cite Driscoll's sensationalistic claims based on gossip and innuendo, but then exaggerate even beyond what Driscoll was willing to say in the cited source. There is a pressing need to go through these claims one-by-one in comparison to the text of the Driscoll book and see if they can be fully verified. Some of this sounds a lot like original research. In addition, the language needs to be significantly toned down to conform to an encyclopedic tone and WP:NPOV. Frankly, Kishi was bad enough without the need to go overboard. -- Ash-Gaar ( talk) 23:43, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
I made an entry on 04:27, 29 September 2021 that provided information about Kishi's economic activities in Manchuria.The information came from the book The Yamato Dynasty by Peggy and Sterling Seagrave. A user removed the entirety of my post under the premise that the Seagraves do not do real research, making them an unreliable source.
Would like to know what others think, considering that the authors have published several history books under a few publishing companies. This article currently cites information from their book, so I thought it would be credible to include more information from their book.

This is about the Economic manager of Manchukuo section. Throughout the entire section, the source of the content is based solely on Mark Driscoll's books throughout the entire section. The content is not a list of facts, but rather a commentary on Driscoll's personal research, and the sources of the interviews are also based solely on his books. In addition, Dr. Driscoll himself has never been a specialist in historical research, so it is questionable to use his books as the sole source of information. For all these reasons, I consider the article to be very lacking in neutrality. As a solution, I propose to edit the description of Manchuria and to translate and publish, either temporarily or permanently, the Japanese version of the article on Kishi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KANADE21 ( talk • contribs) 13:15, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
Nobusuke Kishi was one of the key people who developed the Unit 731! The unit of the infamous Imperial Army group that conducted lethal chemical and biological warfare experiments on Humans.
There is a link to → Category:Japanese biological weapons program - but no mention of it in the text. Does anyone have objections to including this? -- 91.54.1.233 ( talk) 14:31, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
The recently added section on the National Defense Brotherhood was far too long and detailed for this page, so I split it off into its own article at National Defense Brotherhood, as per WP:SPLIT and WP:BOLD. There was no way this entire section could remain here as is, given that it was taking up nearly 20% of an already long page to cover just a few months of Kishi's career, and went into a ton of minute detail, not all of which was Kishi-specific. -- Ash-Gaar ( talk) 23:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
