Tokyo Keizai University.
In the late 1980s, between one and two thousand Japanese patients with haemophilia contracted Human Immunodeficiency Virus via tainted blood products. Upon discovering he was one of the affected, Ryuhei Kawada joined the lawsuit against Green Cross Corporation that provided the tainted blood products, which eventually led to the guilty pleas from three executives in 1997. He has expressed a desire to work on issues of health, welfare, and labour.
He has also indicated he will form a Green Party of Japan based on the Rainbow and Greens which supported his campaign.
He belonged to Your Party in December 2009. Japan Times (2007-2007-13): Novice candidates have issues
