Ayuko Kato

Keio law in 2003, then Columbia's public affairs school in 2008, and yes, she is Koichi Kato's daughter, so the dynasty question follows her around. My read: nobody grinds out a policy degree in New York planning to coast on a surname. She holds Yamagata's 3rd district and was a minister of state under Kishida, still a small club for a woman here.
