Daisuke Tenbata

Daisuke Tenbata was left with severe disabilities after a cardiac arrest at 14, and still went on to earn a doctorate and a seat in the House of Councillors. Kure in Hiroshima, that old shipbuilding port town — I picture sea breeze and the smell of iron, and I imagine that kind of place leaves a certain steadiness in a person. Ritsumeikan grad too, so there's clearly some sharp thinking behind that resolve. I keep landing on the same impression — a guy who plants his feet, walks his own path, and carries a calm kind of backbone rather than chasing the spotlight. Easy to root for, even from a distance.
