Takehiko Endo (遠藤 武彦, Endō Takehiko, born October 5, 1938) is a Japanese politician who is a member of Liberal Democratic Party, serving in the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan. On September 3, 2007, due to the financial scandal, he resigned as Minister of Agriculture just eight days after he was appointed to the post.[1] Masatoshi Wakabayashi became new Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries again.
