Mari Kushibuchi (櫛渕 万里, Kushibuchi Mari; born 15 October 1967) is a Japanese politician.
Kushibuchi sailed on the Peace Boat for the first time in 1990,[1] and later joined the associated nongovernmental organization as an executive.[2] In 2009, she contested her first House of Representatives election and won Tokyo's 23rd district for the Democratic Party of Japan. She succeeded incumbent Kōsuke Itō.[3] Kushibuchi lost her 2012 reelection bid to Masanobu Ogura.[4] Following the 2022 resignation of Tarō Yamamoto, Kushibuchi returned to the House of Representatives via proportional representation, this time as a member of Reiwa Shinsengumi.[5][6]
On 1 June 2023, she was suspended from participating in the Diet for 10 days for "irregular behavior" in the lower chamber, which involved holding up a sheet of paper calling the no-confidence motion against Finance Minister Shun'ichi Suzuki a farce, while standing on the rostrum.[7]
