My Take
Honestly, politicians can feel like they exist in some parallel universe, but something about Gen Fukuda breaks that spell a little. Born in 1981 in Kamogata-cho — a small, unhurried town on the Seto Inland Sea coast of Okayama — he then went to a commercial high school in Yokohama and ended up at a junior college all the way up in Hokkaido. That's a lot of Japan for one person, and I think that kind of geographic wandering quietly shapes you in ways a straight-line career never could. Sagittarius, too — the sign that aims at a distant target and trusts the shot will land. I don't know the headlines or the legislative wins, but there's something I want to root for in someone who came up without obvious shortcuts, carried a coastal hometown in his bones, and decided politics was the way to make it matter.
