Before the electoral reform of the 1990s, the area had formed part of the five-member Osaka 5th district.

Between 2012 and 2021 the Representative from the district was Hodaka Maruyama. Initially a member of the Japan Restoration Party but later its successor party Ishin. In 2019, Maruyama was ejected from Ishin for comments he made under the influence of alcohol during a visit to the Kuril Islands and he joined the single-issue Anti-NHK party.[2] Nobuhisa Itō, former Representative of the Osaka 11th district gained the seat back for Ishin in 2021.
