noun
Refers to a person who assists or supports someone in an official or formal capacity. The gloss 'curator' is a specific legal or administrative role, not a museum curator.

He was involved in policy planning as an aide to the minister.
裁判所は成年後見人に補佐人を選任した。
The court appointed a curator for the adult guardian.
Compound of 補佐 (hosa, 'assistance') + 人 (nin, 'person'). The kanji 補 means 'supplement' or 'assist', and 佐 means 'aid' or 'help'.
