Morisaki family

The Morisaki family (Miranian: 森崎) is an Akashian political family that has been prominent in Akashian politics. Four of its members served in the Ran Tsukuda cabinet in high-profile positions, a record in Akashian politics.

History

The family traces its roots to Kagi.

Nori Morisaki was a general in the Akashian Civil War, on the side of Yurika Ehara.

The family's rise in prominence began in the 1950s, with the business career of Yūichi and Erika Morisaki. The two amassed a modest fortune through banking. Perhaps most significantly, they gave a finishing school-like education to their children, which became the family's defining trait.

Noriko Morisaki became the first matriarch of the family and guided it into politics, a career she brought her children into as well. They joined the Conservative National Party, where they were prominent members of the "soft" (緩い yurui) faction. During the party's "kibi-yuru war", they staunchly supported Ran Tsukuda, and became her closest allies after she won the leadership, being counted as part of the red rice group.

Noriko and her 3 children all served in Ran's cabinets, and were among the government's most popular members. Their elegant appearance, patrician manners, and paternalistic conservatism made them leading exemplars of the sanyoi (三良い, "three yoi") qualities Ran sought to impose on the CNP.

During the neoliberal conspiracy, the family opposed the attempted kibi takeover of the CNP, and followed Ran into the new Moderate People's Party. Some of their members returned in Ran's second government and Anna Carbone's government, cementing their status as elder stateswomen of Akashian conservatism.
