Data current as of October 24, 2012. Note: Composition of parliamentary parties differs slightly; e.g. President (Kenji Hirata, D–Gifu) and Vice President (Hidehisa Otsuji, L–proportional) of the House of Councillors are formally independents, several independents join other parliamentary groups and the Sunrise Party caucuses with the Liberal Democrats since 2012.
