Born the grandson of poets Yosano Akiko and Yosano Tekkan in Tokyo, Yosano graduated from the University of Tokyo in 1963.
In 1972 he unsuccessfully ran for the House of Representatives, then served as secretary to Yasuhiro Nakasone.
He ran again in 1976 and was elected.
He was Chief Cabinet Secretary to Prime Minister Shinzō Abe from August 2007 to September 2007, and Minister of Economic and Fiscal Policy in Tarō Asō's administration from February to September 2009.
He was appointed as Minister of Economic and Fiscal Policy and Minister of Regulatory Reform on August 1, 2008.
Following the resignation of Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, Yosano announced his candidacy for the LDP presidency on September 8, 2008:
"'I believe politicians should never mislead the public by showing some rosy pictures. The LDP is facing the biggest crisis since its creation. I will contest the election with high spirits and the courage to lead Japan. Japan is going through a crisis. I will battle the situation for the benefit of the people.'" In the leadership election, held on September 22, 2008, Tarō Asō was elected with 351 of the 527 votes, while Yosano trailed in second place with 66 votes.
In Aso's cabinet, appointed on 24 September 2008, Yosano retained his post as Minister of Economic and Fiscal Policy.
He was a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the Sunrise Party of Japan and former member of the House of Representatives, serving his ninth term in the Lower House representing Tokyo's first electoral district until his defeat in the 2009 Japanese general election.
On February 18, 2009, with the resignation of Shoichi Nakagawa on the case of the G7 conference, he took office as Minister of Finance and Minister in charge of financial services.
He left the Sunrise Party on 13 January 2011 to join the Naoto Kan's cabinet as Minister of Economic and Fiscal Policy.
Yosano was known for advocating an increase in the consumption tax to reconstruct the nation's debt-ridden fiscal structure.
After joining the DPJ government, he drew up the plans for the 2012 consumption tax increase.
The legislation was passed through the House of Representatives on June 26, 2012 and passed the Upper House on August 10, 2012.
