Hirotaka Ishihara

Being Shintaro Ishihara's third son, with two well-known older brothers, means every success gets credited to the surname rather than to you. Ishihara went from Zushi to Keio, worked in the private sector, won a seat in the House of Representatives, and has been Minister of the Environment since 2025. Outlasting a famous name is its own achievement.
