Hiroshi Moriyama

Moriyama was born in Kanoya, Kagoshima, in 1945, the year the war ended, and he is still a sitting member of the Diet in his eighties. There is no university on his record. He finished a prefectural high school and built everything upward from his home region. National politics did not come until he was 53, first in the House of Councillors, then the House of Representatives, then Minister of Agriculture, and eventually Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party. You can argue about his politics. Harder to dismiss is the arithmetic: a climb that slow demands a patience most careers never ask for.
