Career
Murayama was a tax expert and helped the development of the tax overhaul bills.[2] He worked in the ministry of finance as a bureaucrat and was the general director of the tax bureau.[3]
Then he joined the LDP and served as finance minister twice. Murayama replaced Hideo Bo as finance minister on 28 November 1977. Murayama's successor was Ippei Kaneko who was appointed on 8 December 1978.[1] In the 1979 general elections, he won a seat in the Niigata constituency's second district.[4] He served as the chairman of the LDP's tax system research council.[5] He also led a fiscal expansion research committee of the party which later called the Murayama committee.[3] He was part of the Suzuki and then Miyazawa faction within the LDP.[3][6]
The second term of Murayama as finance minister was from 27 December 1988 to 9 August 1989 in the cabinet of Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita.[7][8] He replaced Noboru Takeshita, who had served as acting finance minister since the resignation of Kiichi Miyazawa due to his alleged involvement in the Recruit stock scandal on 9 December 1988.[7][9] On 9 August 1989, Ryutaro Hashimoto replaced Murayama as finance minister.[1]
In the 1993 elections Murayama was elected to the lower house winning a seat from the Niigata constituency's third district.[10] He was not included in the LDP's proportional representation list for the 25 June 2000 general elections, and he retired from the politics.[11]
