Hiranao Honda (本多 平直, Honda Hiranao, born 2 December 1964) is a Japanese politician of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and a member of the House of Representatives in the Diet (national legislature). A native of Sapporo, Honda represents Hokkaido through the Hokkaido PR block. Honda first ran for office in the 2003 election as the DPJ candidate for the Saitama 12th district, losing against the incumbent Toshio Masuda. He obtained a seat in the House in 2004 after a fellow DPJ member from the same proportional representation block resigned his PR block seat to run in the Saitama 8th district by-election. Honda remained a member until 2005, when he was defeated by Toshio Kojima in the Saitama-12th race. He would have a rematch with Kojima in the 2009 general election, when the DPJ won power from the LDP. He won by a 40,000-vote majority. During the DPJ's time in power, Honda served as a Special Adviser to Prime Minister and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry under Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.
