Hirofumi Yoshimura

As someone with a soft spot for Osaka, I watch Hirofumi Yoshimura with extra interest. A Kyushu University law graduate who became both a lawyer and tax advisor, he has the credentials of a technocrat but governs with relentless visibility, as his constant pandemic-era media presence showed. He divides opinion, but no one can accuse him of coasting; he is a politician who competes on sheer output and energy. Leading a national party while still chasing reform in Osaka, he strikes me as restless and ambitious. Local bias aside, I respect how hard he runs.
