My Take
Banri Kaieda went from explaining the economy on television to running the trade and industry ministry in 2011, right after the nuclear accident. Nobody wanted that chair. He later led his party, lost his own seat, resigned, came back, and later served as deputy speaker of the lower house. Not flashy, but a career that bent often and never broke.
