abstract={Recently, we have been creating a corpus of Japanese prefectural assembly minutes. The corpus contains assembly minutes of all 47 prefectures between April 2011 and March 2015. This four-year period represents one term of office for the assembly members in most prefectures. In prefectural assembly minutes, the name of the speakers can be recorded in several different ways such as Japanese Hiragana and Katakana characters, and Chinese characters. Our purpose of this study is to uniquely identify the speakers by hand, reconciling the different representations of their names. This paper describes how we annotated a Japanese political corpus with speaker identity information.}
