Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 3,736 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Akiko Kurabayashi giving a speech in Kyoto City on July 14, 2019
She is a former nurse. She has previously served on the Kyoto Prefectural Assembly, to which she was elected in 1994, and on the Kyoto City Assembly, to which she served five terms, starting with her election to the assembly in 1995. Kurabayashi was elected to her position in the National Diet in 2013.[1]
Kurabayashi is opposed to the pension reform bill that was enacted in 2016, saying that the reduced pension benefits would weight heavily on the Japanese public.[2] She is also opposed to allowing non-Japanese trainees to work in the Japanese nursing industry, saying that the plan would not permanently address the chronic labour shortage in Japan's nursing industry.[3]
