Hiroshi Saitō (斉藤博, Saitō Hiroshi, born 1939) is a Japanese politician from Tokorozawa, Saitama. Having graduated from Chuo University, Saitō was elected to the city assembly of Tokorozawa in 1971. In 1979, he won the election for the prefectural assembly of Saitama and served for 12 years.
In October 1991, Saitō was elected mayor of Tokorozawa. While he was in office, in 1997, TV Asahi aired a news report alleging that the vegetables grown in Tokorozawa were polluted with dioxin. Saitō had his salary docked for covering up information about the pollution.[1]
He announced in August 2007 that he would not run for a fifth term and was succeeded by Yoshiko Tōma in October 2007.
