Hiroshi Yamada

I'll be honest, I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of every policy debate, but something about Hiroshi Yamada's backstory just clicks with me. He's from Hachioji, that western edge of Tokyo where the hills creep in and the pace slows down, and I always picture folks from there as a little more grounded than your average city-slick careerist. Then you stack a Kyoto University education on top, and yeah, this is clearly a sharp guy. Politics is a brutal line of work, you're basically carrying strangers' lives on your shoulders, so I've got a quiet respect for anyone who chooses that grind and actually shows up for it.
