The Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary (内閣官房副長官, Naikaku-kanbō-fuku-chōkan) is an official in the Japanese government who assists the Chief Cabinet Secretary. Since July 1998 there have always been three Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretaries at any given time.

Role

The Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretaries are divided between those for political affairs (政務担当) or those for administrative affairs (事務担当). Since the Obuchi cabinet there are two for political affairs and one for administrative affaris, prior to that there were one of each.

The Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretaries for political affairs are members of the National Diet, one from the House of Representatives and one from the House of Councillors. The Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary for administrative affairs is considered the senior position in the bureaucracy and is normally given to someone who has served as administrative vice-minister or in a equivalent position.^[1]
