Kanzaki was the Komeito's leader when the party entered into the coalition in October 1999 with theLiberal Democratic Partywhich it still maintains to this day. Kanzaki was a noted critic of Prime MinisterYoshirō Mori.[1]Around the time some members of the LDP were voicing opposition to a local referendum which expressed opposition to a proposed dam project along theYoshino River,Kanzaki insisted that the voters' decision should be respected fully.[2]In 2001, he stated his support for allowing married couples to retain separate surnames.[3]

He stepped down as party leader in 2006 and became an advisor instead. Although Komeito suffered a heavy blow in the2009 general electionalong with its coalition partner, Kanzaki was able to secure a position in the Diet thanks to the Kyushu PR block results. He retired from the Diet in 2010 due tokidney failure,but remained a permanent advisor to his party.
