Upon returning to Japan, he served as chairman of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Kobe House of Representatives. He married the daughter of Viscount Kuki in December of 1897. Kojiro became president and owner of the Kawasaki Dockyard Company, one of the largest shipbuilding plants in the world.
