Ichiro Nakagawa (中川 一郎, Nakagawa Ichirō, 9 March 1925 - 9 January 1983) was a Japanese politician from Hokkaidō. He committed suicide at a hotel in Sapporo after he was defeated in the presidency election of the LDP and so lost his chance to become prime minister.[1]

## Personal life[edit]

Nakagawa's eldest son was Shōichi Nakagawa, a House of Representatives member.[1] Shōichi also committed suicide in 2009. Nakagawa's younger brother is Yoshio Nakagawa.
